Looking to start accumulating gear for a long bike tour next year, after upgrading near all my current gear and buying that which I do not yet own.

Bike ( Complete or Parts ) - Surly Long Haul Trucker or similar, 55cm or there abouts.

Racks ( Front and Rear ) - Tubus or similar heavy load capacity racks.

Panniers and Bar Bag ( Front and Rear ) - Ortliebs or Carradice or other reasonably high quality panniers.

Tent - 2 man, around 2kg mark, pitch in one or flysheet first. Around price and quality of an MSR Hubba Hubba or Vango Tempest / Banshee etc.

Mat - Looking at something like a Exped DownMat, ThermaRest etc. - smallish weight and packsize, self inflating.

Stove - preferably multifuel capacity, Trangia 27 with gas fitting, MSR Whisperlite International or similar.

Torch - Petzl Tikka 2 or similar.

Lots of other bits that I'll be in need of so hit me up with any spare gear you own, am sure I'll be happy to take stuff off your hands!

I have a Claude Butler Dalesman- which was the same frame as a Dawes Galaxy

Frame and some parts available- but we do have a dent on the top tube..

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.
