  • I hopefully pick the wheel up tomorrow, then we're off to catch the European Bike Express on Friday, and wake up in Montpellier Saturday morning.

    I'm so pleased, good job I didn't miss that detail! (Thought I'd missed that hadn't you).

    Will get in touch with Rad Bikes (new wheel for £25 + spokes is a bargain) and see what they can do. Might just get Spa to build it as they already have the rim and P&P will presumably be ££.
    This is set 3 for us and we've neither had it as long nor ridden as far as you guys! In fairness to our communal expensive habit, that includes the originals (bent axles and all) and a move onto a dynamo front (went 36h, will let everyone know if I eat tarmac or not!).

    Hadn't heard of the European Bike Express before, great that they take tandems. Will be suggesting that for next year's summer holiday!

  • No-one I've mentioned it to has heard of it either, but @tricitybendix assures me it's been running forever. One of those hidden old-school gems :) We've done enough of all the bits rideable in two weeks from London so it's nice to cut out the same-old and see something new without having to work out how to get the bike on a train/plane. Will report back once we emerge at the other end of it all!

  • This year's plan was London - Harwich -Ferry- Rotterdam - Dieppe -Ferry- Newport - London but lab work has got in the way. Would be very interesting to hear how it goes!

    PS do you still have your set of (stupid BCD) Stronglight cranks lying around? Might have borked the stoker DS crank slightly...
