  Is it just me or is the Discord UI utter wank?

  Ffs, was just thinking the other day how increasingly glad I am to have on here as an antidote to the increasingly commercialised, malgorithm-driven social media ‘communities’. Genuinely gutted and would gladly stick hand in pocket on a recurring basis to keep it going, but totally understand this isn’t the ultimate problem for the bossperson.
  Are there any other forums that we can migrate to? Some sort of wiki-based site?

  Unlikely 3rd dibs - Bath/ Bristol based if that helps.

  Not 330ml and not strictly an IPA but this is a very good and interesting number that comes in around the 3% mark… local to me so I’m lucky enough to find this on draft every now and then.

  Absolutely - it’s spot on. I’m coming up with some ideas about a lighter weight strap to replace the current shoulder strap made out of the same webbing that I can store in the bag without taking up as much space - will message you if/when I want to proceed. Should be a pretty simple thing to run up hopefully. Thanks again dude 👌

  Very good indeed. Normally consumed warmed, drowned in cream and with a flat white accompaniment but alas their cafe is in flux at the moment so will have to wait for next year.

  Now approaching completion of what initially envisioned for this bike - pretty chuffed with how it’s turned out and have enjoyed bodging various mounts for things other than their intended uses (the under-saddle bottle mount for the lock, and the rear-rack light mount p-clipped on to my Pelago). Other little bits include some cheap Pinnacle ergon knock-offs and a top-cap phone mount. Thanks also to @pdlouche for the bag mods - for now going to run my trusty timbuk2 mini-messenger as a rack-top bag that lies flat enough for me to strap bigger stuff over the top of it. Can add some better pics of the mods if anyone is interested - it’s basically a strip of webbing that hooks over the back of the rack, and the bag is then tensioned forwards and held in place by a single mini voile strap. Super secure but equally very quick to remove if needed. Final few bits I’d like to add are some moto/cruiser style bars and probably some of the restrap rack straps in place of the Voile one I have currently

  Ended up going with some p-clips, a garmin rack mount (for vario lights) and a stick-on garmin male mount. Pretty happy with how it’s turned out tbh.

  The Landrace offering this year - fantastic pastry, crumbly on biting but holds structure very well. Very well filled (no air gap) and mincemeat delicious but could probably use a splash more booze. Overall 9/10.
