Yeah I saw that, severely tempted. RE. flaps: I think that's from where it came off the roll, hopefully it'll level out.

@MisterMikkel, the mircoshift site seems to suggest their 10sp shifters can be run on friction, though I'm not quite sure how. I guess that'd give you an option should you not get on with it. http://www.microshift.com.tw/BS-A10_Shifters_road.html

Swapped the bars for something with less epic sweepz. Raleigh trekking, wouldn't mind a tad more width, but they were cheap.

Just need a Wald now. Unfortunately my LBS seems fairly useless at getting hold of one, despite having it on their website.

Current guise. Swapped front guard for a long one. Just need to refit dynamos and we're good for winter grocery getting.

Makes me miss commuting by bike 😥

That is incredible.

Oh yeah, there was this too. Fun, but less so than a modern MTB. Prefer it in fully functional mode.

Oh yes! Why ever buy a modern mtb when you could have this...!

Missed this somehow. Very cool bike and awesome iterations!

Because a modern one is lighter, brakes better and the fork doesn't steer in direction you're not pointing it! That said, this is still a great bike on fire roads etc.

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:
![](https://www.google.co.uk/images/srpr/logo4w.png)
That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

> Quote text by starting lines with >

Mention another user by @username

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

```
Your code goes here
```
Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.

If you upload more than 5 files we will display all attachments as thumbnails.
