Current Projects chat and miscellany

Thank you Gaston. Red white and bleu is a colour option, like the the rasta one.

The cages are blackburn chicane stainless, reduced on ribble at the moment. They didn't pair well with elite bottles but with the camelbak bottles they perfectly and securely, like they are made for each other.

The bike is a lot of fun, a bit heavy on the road but comes alive off road. At the moment still recovering from a broken foot but getting the miles in now in preparation for touring at the end of summer.

The only possible changes are the bar tape which is a bit hard, I may try some different tyres by can't decide whether to go "semi slick" for compromise.

Also this rack was exactly what I wanted in terms of shape and features, but it's very flexy (alu as well) and I'm concerned for it's durability going touring, so may get one of those mini porteur stainless racks that @spotter has mentions.
