Moccamaster .............thoughts, opinions, diatribes?

I'm looking to build up a single speed cross bike to race on (Welsh winter cross gets a little muddy and this would be used to avoid a pit bike). It will also be in service as a single speed to ride longer events with my wife ( alpine fondos , 200-300km Audax) and I may build up a Paul's fixed rear disc hub so it can replace my Pre Cursa as winter trainer and long distance Audax bike.

The Squid cross with a spare fixed rear wheel seems to cover all these bases, BUT being in welsh Wales I can't get much 1st hand opinion on Squid bikes in general and the Squid Cross specifically. They have been raced at a high level and ridden round longer U.S gravel events and seem simple, well made and quite adaptable.

Does anyone on here have any 1st hand experience or opinions on the brand / specific frame?

If you’ve had no takers can I purchase these from you?

Cap arrived in Wales and fits slightly shallower but only in a different rather than poor fitting way.
Again thank you to @lowbrows and @6pt for the organisation, a nice delivery to brighten up a wet February day.

Funny how bikes you lusted over as a child become de rigour again.

We had a conversation with our son about news reliability with the Mail being at one end of the spectrum.......
You soon release the misinformation spread when The Mail Health do an article on your subject of interest .

For sure.....

My wife’s dirty secret the “side bar of shame”, gossip articles about people that I would have no idea who they were if I sat next to them on a bus.

Dropped bar MTB, the lines are blurring by the day........

The Dolan was my lockdown treat, painting the kitchen was my wife’s = everyone’s happy.

Readers........

I consider myself British, but am also pro European. Before Brexit I would have laughed at an independent Wales, however if the choice was keep the British union or have Welsh independence with Wales being fully integrated into the E.U I would struggle to make a choice.

(I know the thread is about Scotland and I know the likelihood of an independent Wales is far more remote).

“All road”rather than “gravel” but a new skool/old skool take.

Thank you, Pinkies coming my way.

Sounds familiar to the Carradice seat pack I've been looking at.........

I'm looking to go much longer on my Pre Cursa and have begun obsessing over packing options.
Full frame bag vs Carradice vs front rack or simplicity of a small / medium seat pack.
Can I ask what make you have on your PC in the picture?

"Just because you could doesn't mean you should."

Does anyone have an Explore (not Apidura+Rapha) seat pack that is surplus to their requirements ?

Try some Rapha Explore. They have a carbon sole but only 2/3 and so walk very well.
They converted me to lace ups and fit well in the ankle but have a spacious toe so thicker socks still leave a nice space around the front of the foot.

I have used those chemical hand warmers in my socks just above the ankle and having a little room around the toe box of the shoe.
