How it was before to give you an ideas, would benefit from a wide range 1 by drivetrain, clearance look like you can fit 2.1 tyres

I hastily dibsed this but practically and logistically won’t work. Glws😎

Would dibs that rack if you did decide to split it
Love my Thorn :)

Edit. Oops, apologies @johnnettles2

I sir am sorry 🤓
Was a bit hasty over to you

Lol, not at all!
It’s a lovely set up
If I’d not got one already I think I’d be hard pressed not to dibs the whole thing myself ha ha

@Lolo

second dibs on that rack

Dibs on the lot. @cake has kindly offered to collect for me, I'll PM you when I'm back from work.

Excellent stuff!

Weird, I was wondering if you still had this the other day, I think I PMd you about buying it years ago. Unlikely second dibs...

I was still using it as a runabout, abet overkill!

That's exactly my use. Not overkill when you have a 12kg toddler on the back, my 90s mtb feels like a wet noodle loaded up.

Oh 100% perfect for that, I just use it for the 1km shopping trip.
