After 6 years and about 10 iterations I'm retiring (probably selling) my trusty Cotic Escapade. I have been running it as an "RGR" commuter for a while but it's still a bit close to my gravel bike. So, I snapped up a Bootzipper 29er frameset from Planet X during one of the low points in its wild price fluctuations, to use for a bit of everything and expand what I can ride a bit.
Now, I thought some people might be interested in the bike as I see a bit of chat about it in various threads. Does seem to be a great value bikepacking option, but I'll let you know how I get on.
The other half of this project is sewing bags to hang on the bike. I have a big pile of fabrics, some doodles and a rudimentary understanding of sewing that will hopefully become a frame bag, bar bag and some other bits.
