Picked up an old Tricross from my Dad who now only rides an e-bike. Going to use it for longer road rides. Low spec but the frame is surprisingly nice. Currently put 42c Conti Sport Contacts, carbon post, Fizik saddle, and slightly flared bars on it (+destickered rims).
Bought some hydro Di2 R875 brifters for the DIY drop barred frame, will pair with a bar end shifter for now, then upgrade to Di2 at a later date. Internally routed Sora R3000 levers will then go onto the Tricross, along with a compact double and some mini-v's. Sticking with Shimano 9 speed on the Tricross for cheapness.
Genesis cycletruck got a new BB as the XT one disintegrated. Needs an additional brace on the DT then will be stripped for powder coating.
And finally started collecting uber cheap/free bits for the Rockhopper. Tempted to use it to do a bikepacking loop of the Shropshire Way.
