Much obliged

42 and 44 here… there’s a good mix of ages across class-mates Dad’s (grammar police, that doesn’t seem to scan correctly but nevermind) and I don’t feel too old in comparison.
No parent races at sports day to get apprehensive about, thankfully. Doesn’t seem like that kind of school.
Being an (slightly) older Dad seems to have benefits and drawbacks, much like most things! I do think there’s a ‘kids keep you young’ upside; even the incessant questions have helped re-engage with nature, noticing the little things etc.
The non-e-assist cargo bike is hard on the knees though

Hi, I’ve got a great condition Thule Coaster xt, which is a double trailer for sale, but it’s in Bournemouth

I mean, surely this is moving in a really positive direction?

I’m down south… Unless you’re headed to Bournemouth for a beach holiday!?

Nowhere near Hereford unfortunately!

Thanks!

Oh yes please! Bars with bells on if you split please!

Thank you - that’s interesting.
I actually spotted my bike in the background of a Bespoked ‘meet the maker’ from 2012.

That looks so good. Matching racks are super cool and the S&S very special. Edited to say : belt-compatible and Rohloff too! Wow.
Thanks for bringing the thread to the top.
I recently picked up a Mather which was shared in ‘non-eBay’ thread on-here, and immediately did a debut run up to Stonehenge for the solstice last month.
Needs some tweaks (e.g. oddly it has v-levers and canti brakes, so the lever feel is on/off and needs a really firm hand), and I’ll post more -and better photos when that’s done.
However the attention to detail and quality in the frame is really clear.

Wicked… I think I registered interest last time in the headset, Paul’s levers and mini moto, and would add the 24-pack now please.

PM re. Grill rack

Group buy?
I’d worry about the taxes coming to the UK though.

Many thanks, have dropped the seller a message.

Thanks for the quick response, I have seen the On-One Geoff bars etc.
However, it pains me to admit in public that I’m a sucker for a brand name, and also lazy so would prefer to swap controls only the once rather than getting a placeholder.
Thanks again.

Any Jones loop bars surplus to requirements?
Easy on steel (butted preferred) or Ti (I should be so lucky) and width.
Drop me a message if so, please.

Just to share the outcome of a court case. Jail time. The driver was above the alcohol limit and trace of drugs.

So much recognise the issues and outcomes here…
Left-handed but do a lot with my right, like use scissors - because we never had left-handed ones at home. Like others, I think lot of cross-dominance is an adaptation to a right-handed world.
When I play cricket (terribly) I bowl left handed, but bat right handed. Rounders (no baseball at my school) was bat/bowl left handed though.
There seems to be a theme where underarm/leg-stuff trends to the right side.
Use a knife and fork the traditional (right-handed) way, though I couldn’t for any money way tell you which way that is until I sat at a table and picked them up - you wouldn’t want me to set the dinner service!
Golf I’ve tried both and neither seems natural. Pool and snooker left handed.
Mouse in my right hand.
Was never denied my left hand at school but had non-stop remedial handwriting lessons through middle school (45 degree, bent wrist etc) which were absolutely no use and I found it embarrassing to be pulled from class.
I remember having badminton coaching where various coaches would try to swap my hands - probably because I was awful at both.

Have you looked at a Follow-me tandem attachment? Would seem to tick all the boxes above. Obviously assumes your child has an existing bike. Probably the smallest option in terms of storage, and provides some flexibility when out and about too.

Thanks for everyone’s interest

Hey all,
No longer have a bike suitable for these, so I might as well pass them on.
I didn’t ride them (build went in a different direction then frame later sold), and there are indications of wear on the rims, some less glossy spots, the bearings could do with some attention.
Campag freehub up to 11-speed.
Hence saying ‘spares/repair’. Tubs would need replacing, I do have a new set of 25c Bontrager R4’s if a buyer is interested.
Inspection welcome, but they are in Bournemouth.
I’m going to say £150 to start a conversation - let me know if this is way out given uncertainty on serviceability.
There will be Campagnolo 11-sp groupset (Record and Super Record, pre-2015 parts when I get other boxes unpacked).

Return initiated… fingers crossed!
