  • Following on from tweaking a few of the bikes, it would appear that we are now definetly moving back down to a city, Edinburgh in case you were wondering.

    This has meant some srs bike converstaions, as we wont have a garage anymore. I've been very lucky to amass a decent collection of bikes across Scotland and London, 9 in all.

    Ailsa has somehow 'managed' to get buy with only two and in an bold act, undercutting my pitch, she has said that she is going to get rid of one of them.. This sadly (but lets be honest, sensibly) means that I have to go down to three bikes in Scotland.

    Logically this means

    • Keeping the Elsegood but in parts and putting it in the loft
    • Keeping the BC Rourke, because its amazing.
    • Keeping the Tarn because MTB
    • Recomisioning the Trainbiek as a proper do it all road bike again

    This then means that the SpaceBiek and the Red winter Rourke are in the wind.

    I really dont want to get rid of Spacebiek, so I may have to berth it somewhere, (Mitcham or are there any good cheap storage options in Edinburgh that anyone knows of, garages seem very expensive there) but I think the Red Rourke will have to go :( , as will a Lugless Claud Butler frame I have.

    So.

    I quite like the Trainbike set up 1x, but the ratios are cobbled together 36t to an 11-32t 10 speed cassette. The hub will take 11s, so i'm just wondering what my groupset options are?

  • Storage in Edinburgh is the boxroom. Or hang the bike on the wall high up (floor-to-ceiling will be around 3m in a tenement).

  • Sadly not moving to a tenement, but we do have a high ceiling.

    Long term I want to try and negociate the Elsegood onto the wall there!

    You in Edinburgh then?
