Hi Psee,
I think this is a great build. I really like these versatile bikes that people are building at the moment.

1. What tyres did you go for in the end?
   
2. What is the rough weight of the finished bike?
   
3. More pics and ride report please!
   

I don't think so. It is a minor thing that is annoying me now! I'll keep looking.

@eone thanks, it was the one before. I think the finished paintjob was green. Any moar ideas?

Before the great switch over, someone posted a link to a nice lightweight Ti audax style bike with disc brakes. The link for more info was to a thread documenting the build on a German website. The posts about it were lost. Could someone post it again if they can remember what I'm talking about.

Thanks

I'm on safari and am now delighted to jump to the first unread post.

Hovis, have you looked at the ferry times? They are a bit shit from Newhaven. IIRC, it is two sailings a day - late morning and late evening. Depending on your pace, it could be a bit of a dash for the morning or a waste of a day for the evening. I took the evening one last year and it's fine. If I did it again, I'd book a cabin - I attempted a couple of poor hours kip in a chair. We then just rode straight to Paris. If you wanted to save time, you could ride down sharpish after work, catch the late ferry then have a ridiculously early start in Dieppe for your first day. HTH. Joe.

New pagination controls don't render correctly on my HTC m8 android chrome latest version. (Lots of pixels). If all four buttons are displayed and the number is 4 digits or more then the "next" button is bumped down. Apologies if this already posted.

Kinesis Crosslight disc wheels are 11sp compatible and a light wheelset for £270 seems pretty good:

Unnecessary comment. Reading fail.

This is going to be awesome!

Bump, to get this onto my following pages in this brave new world.

Thanks Mashton. I think. #luddite

How can I undo the mark all read setting?

Also, if I have read this thread correctly, I am not missing something obvious, but there is not currently:

1. A way to click straight to the last post of a thread.
   
2. Not a way to click to a general all new, I have to select a forum first.
   
   

Correct?

Have a load of my subscribed threads gone missing? I am only 'following' two pages worth of conversations now as compared to loads before.

XavJ, that sounds great. Do you have any route links? Or did you roll with just maps?

A nice write up of The Highlands and Islands here: http://marcusjb.wordpress.com

I think the author may post on here occasionally. Some nice pics to remind me how great riding in Scotland is. Also a Audax Club Hackney jersey in one of the pics.

Despite no real German, it was an interesting thread to skim and he has done well to get the finished bike to just over 8kg.

Of note was the choice of fork - great value at €189 for a full carbon disc fork at just over 400g

I thought these guys were already trying to sell to the luxury running market:

Thanks for the offer chap. SE23 if you can bring yourself to commute for the duration. Probably not worth it for you i'd have thought?

Just seen this - if you are still looking for a plumber, there is a really good bloke in New Cross Gate that I am sure would do the work for you. He got top marks from me for cycling round to have a look at the job I wanted doing. He then did the work quickly and neatly and refused payment until I was sure that the leak had stopped and everything was all good.

Sorry if I've missed it somewhere, but what's the fork you are using?

Does anyone have a recomendation for the best decent sized saddle bag and does anyone have a second hand one for sale?

Would you like to borrow a carradice and support? I have a Nelson long flap and a Super C as well as Bagman V1&2. You are welcome to any combination of them if you want them for a trip. PM me if interested.

NB. I'd really like them back though. I lent a cheap bike bag to someone on here a long time ago and the fucker never returned it. /rant /csb
