One wheeled luggage trailer thing

£50? I've got a full set of Brooks Panniers that I should also sell, two small and two large.

I'd do some sort of deal for the whole lot.

Interesting. How does it attach? Doesn't come with wheel presumably?

If Phil isn’t keen, I’d take the Brooks panniers if split… and (like a circling vulture) will you be selling the Pace, or is that a keeper?

I have a wheel for it - Mavic rim to Hope hub, and it's a custom skewer that you put in the rear wheel which it then latches to.

The panniers are the Brooks Lands End and John O'Groats ones, which IIRC were around a ton each. Trailer to include a wheel.

This is what the idea was:

Before Bike Packing was cool.

Dibs, I’ll have that

Bugger, hadn't seen this thread. I'd like this to go with The Time Machine. I'll call 2nd dibs on the off chance @fredtc feels sympathetic...

Keen on the two smaller panniers if still going to

Sorry everyone who was interested- I bought this to go with the Time Machine and if possible I’d like it to stay as a part of that project, it was displayed at Bespoked with it so it’s part of its history.

👌 sorry I didn't text yesterday

This is fascinating. Does it achieve anything more than a front rack would?

Holy shit that is the coolest paintjob I’ve ever seen

The idea was not to put weight on the front axle, and also to look at clearances - the geometry is modelled on a Cannondale System Six (the original one) so it's not exactly a long-wheelbase, touring frame. A lot of attention was paid to avoiding toe/mudguard clash for example.

With the trailer you can use smaller panniers on the rear rack, then large ones on the trailer, to give a lot of storage without "fuck I keep kicking my bag" problems.
