I've been bitten by the touring bug and I'm building up a Surly Long Haul Trucker. I'm taking my time on it (not required until next May) and I've put a blog together for both research purposes and for the shits and giggles of writing about it.
Feel free to have a nose and comment away as I slowly fuck the thing up.

Ever since they combined the Sainsbury's Cheese Counter 'Take a ticket and wait' approach with the 'Checking in for a flight in August' time frame, I don't think 'drop it at the post office' exists anymore.
Really tempted by the Hplus/Phil wheel....
Despite numerous offers, no one has matched my price yet so its still available.
-
Just bought another frame so I need some greens for the inevitable cash suck. Here is a host of stuff lying redundant under a bed:
• All prices are accurate. No ONO. All unsold items will be kept for a rainy day.
• Sorry out-of-towners, but I'm doing pick up only from London with the possible exception of the wheel.
• London pick-up only from W1, SE6, South Drinks (Monday) & SE Drinks (Tuesday).
• Dibs your purchase on here then PM the item description, then number and where you're likely to pick it up from.
If you have any questions then please ask away.
Good luck.

Whilst I agree with the last sentiment that, indeed, we are living in an imperialistic corporate age, where corporations are more powerful than governments and seek to exploit all and sundry for their own greed, you really have to chill about the whole advertising/sponsorship thing.
The way I look at it is this: Hahahaha the idiots just gave us loads of money cus they think having their logo splashed about a bit more will make me buy their products.
Just make informed choices guys.
Think about it another way. What the fuck have Barclays got to do with biking? Nothing. Will more cyclists bank with Barclays because of it? Nope.
Would the superhighways/bike hire scheme ever launched without corporate sponsorship? Nope. If it wasn't barclays blue it could be t-mobile pink or intel blue.
Its either that or higher taxes. Woo.
