dibs - PM'd.

Thanks but I think he wants something a bit more road orientated than that. Glws though.

Sorry forgot to put size - he's 5'9" or 5'10" so I think probably a 50 or 52? Maybe a 54 in something with very upright geo.

@Raoul I spotted your vagabond and it looks so fun. A bit big though I think.

A friend is after a decent secondhand bike to commute and ferry their baby about on.

Could be a hybrid or tourer, flat bar or drops. Budget up to £400.

Main requirements:

• Can take a decent size tyre (32mm+)
  
• Long distance commute so not a tank
  
• Can take a rack
  
• Won't need lots of work straightaway
  
  

I think something like a croix de fer / kaffenback might fit the bill but could be anything really.

Has anyone got anything suitable? Or any good ideas?

Price drop £70

I have the 2 person version of that, the Hubba Hubba. Absolutely cracking tent. One of those pieces of kit that just makes me happy every time I use it.

Sorry I always forget something.

It's 56 square c-c. 90mm stem. I'll update original post.

I would post at asking price + fees and p&p, but probably not below.

Slightly sad to part with this as it was the first bike I ever built.

Also it is the bike I get most compliments for, despite being the cheapest bike I've owned. People love this thing.

It's tatty, ratty and has a pink saddle, but it's got charm.

It's got two new long drop dual pivot brakes. The old levers could do with changing in the long term as they feel pretty sloppy, but stops well.

Has original Peugeot cranks, stem and large chainring - I took the small off and ran it fixed.

Just get yourself some cheap beater wheels and pedals and you're ready to roll.

As in pics minus wheels, pedals and different brake blocks.

£80 > NOW £70

Size: ST 56cm c-c / TT 56cm c-c / stem 90mm

Collection only Brixton/Herne Hill.

28c Panaracer Paselas? Nice tan wall clinchers that are forum recommended. PM me.

Thx for the advice everyone.

@Thuekr and @plxarc, do you have any pics or video of yours or others bikes cling filmed up? Or a how to? I've seen people suggest this before but never quite believed it or worked out how I'd do it. How much do you disassemble?

@moog that looks like a really neat solution.

Dibs Isadore, Vittoria and Columbus caps if still available

I'm running mine fixed at the moment and loving it. I leave the brifters and double chainring on and switch it between 6 months fixed for winter and 6 months geared for touring in summer.

The ability to run either set up is what drew me to the frame. All I do is remove the gear cables and derailleurs and switch rear wheels and I get a whole new bike to play with in winter.

What are people's solutions for when you're doing an A to B multi-day tour and you need to transport your bike on either end?

E.g. I'm planning a two week tour of Italy in April, but want to get there and back on trains that don't allow fully assembled bikes.

Is there such a thing as a bike bag that is small and light enough to carry the whole way for use on the way back? Or something cheap and easily available enough to chuck when you get there and buy again for the way back?

Surely someone out there must have run into this problem and worked out a neat solution?

The gravel is calling...

Thanks will take a look

That's a good idea actually, I have a 13l one of those already that I've been using on the bars but it's been kind of annoying me how it gets in the way of my hands in a few positions. Will look into that, thanks.

Does anyone have any recommendations for a decent sized saddlebag (looking for 13l+) for use with saddle loops? Obviously could just get a standard Alpkit/restrap/similar one but wondering if having a saddle with loops (Brooks swift) opened up other interesting options.

If you want a fully waterproof shell then I've got the Patagonia Torrentshell and would really recommend it. Really light, packs small, super waterproof, good quality. RRP about 100 but found mine for about half that.

The downsides would be not breathable - but if it's coming down hard enough to make you want to wear it while riding you'll be beyond caring - and no insulation, it's just a very thin waterproof shell.

Thanks but need the mid-fork attachments for racks. Sorry should have said that originally.

Seat post now sorted.

Still looking for stem - can trade a mint 100mm X4 or will pay cash m0nie$.
