Got my Blackburn Outpost front rack for around £50, online, and you can use canti mounts for installation (also eyelets by dropouts, but no need for the touring eyelets at mid fork blade)

Ah Loic, I still miss seeing your Mercian though!

I've seen his new owner on it a few times, on the kings road, usually in the evening on the commute back from work, seems to be in good hands... Was a lovely bike but I much prefer the Varonha, who is its replacement really!

:0)

Cheers @tallboy. I was initially looking at bar and frame bags. But they (baskets) look far more practical for the kids' stuff.

Humu is riding nice now. think i might buy some lighter tyres though, maybe kojaks, and then ghetto tubeless.

Looks like WTB are bringing back the Dirt Drops!

Well worth it. I went for some silly light thunder burts and ghetto tubeless. Not a single peep so far.

I want to convert the 26" XT wheel set I have with 2.15" DTHs on to tubeless but I have no idea how to 'ghetto tubeless'....

this is my adventure-funcional- bike a 26" diamond back sorrento with nice tires and rack

Real nice. Looks rowdy.

Speed King tyres? Thinking about them as my next tyres, but I'm not sure they'll fit.

yea those are speed king, love them really light and fast for the price

I really like the look of the Sonder Camino Ti......cycle to work starts again in September too.
Alpkit take an 'admin fee' though....basically, they charge the customer the fee that the cycle scheme charges them, unless the scheme pays them directly (which I'm not sure I understand fully...do some schemes pay another way?).
It just seems a bit cheeky.....it's two tier pricing, cash it's £1500, voucher it's 10% more (or 15% with certain vouchers). I know I get a saving through tax relief, but it rankles a bit.....sorry, I'm wittering

Orange Open Up on eBay right now, could be good deal? XL.

Seen it already. The whole bike is a good deal, the build is fairly good but the gearing could be better for offroad. Still is a lot of money for 2nd hand carbon, i'd rather get me a new Santa Cruz stigmata

nice bike.
from coyhaique, right?

yeah that´s right

soy de stgo. la vi en el grupo de cromoly, es rica esa bici pero prefiero la soma que tienes.

That thing would be mean AF as a freewheel SS with a back brake.

. wrong reply oops!
