still availiable. drop me a pm

Also I have a soft spot for red kites, although being from the chilterns there seem to be more of them than pigeons now (but that doesn't make them any less special!)

Cheers for the comprehensive contribution! Those climbs that you mention sound particularily appealing, I will defiantely plan the route in greater detail to take those sights into account. I forgot to mention that I will be camping on the light side (and may consider wild camping for 1 or 2 nights.

Bit of history. In the summer of 2010 I did a 13day lejog, really enjoyed the scenery/countryside, particularly Northern Scotland. That said it is a little far to go for a short trip!. My route also took in Chepstow/Monmouthshire which was also nice (just not on the same scale/isolation).

Last September I had a mountain biking accident and ended up fracturing my L2 vertebrae. The fracture also included a compression, the consultant referred to it as "doing a proper job". I managed a 2 month heal time after leaving the hospital the next day (I was so adamant that I was going home that I had spoke to the dr whilst standing up at rounds the next morning albeit in alot of pain).

I am certainly not out of love with cycling (I have sold my mtb to appease loved ones) but want to do a mini tour to physically push myself/enjoy seeing parts of Britain, which is what was so special about the lejog. I feel it would also provide some motivation, not something I lack, but will help with all aspects of my recovery.

A little bit of digging has turned up....

"Lôn Las Cymru" from Holyhead to Chepstow

It uses mostly sustrans routes, not huge distances, but the gradient should provide the challenge over 4 days.

Has anyone any experience of riding welsh sustrans routes and or touring within wales? Particularily those mentioned.

forks, seat and chainring still up for grabs, some price reductions. Profile 1st dibs to pandah. bertie, I suspect they would, possibly without a shim, however that would not be my recomendation!

seatpost sold. updated

Seatpost/Chain/Bottom Bracket sold. Pming those that have expressed interest

Having a bit of a clear out as the shed is full to bursting. So all of the below is up for grabs.

Fresh White Powdercoat from Tring powder finishers. (Threads protected by tape, crown needs facing with a blade). Only real blemish is a minor one inside the fork eyelet.

Sold will close thread

Sold! Nice to meet you fellas!

I am 6"3". I reckon 5'10" to 6" ish would be best fit. @clausr thanks for the offer but that's far cheaper than I am willing to go. The seatpost could be replaced with a longer one for a bit more adjustment.

Centre to top but can double check tonight as may be cc
