Here is a worst case scenario what should I get question.
My Saab 95 estate has its MOT middle of the month, last year the garage said the break lines will possibly/probably need doing this year, so as the car is worth nothing, so probably not sensible to fix cost wise, what should I look for in a similar size, petrol manual for £5k max? Ulez must, family trucker camping carrier type thing. Thanks

Edit, or pay the money as mechanically pretty good and I know the last 7 years history, but tatty round the body (mainly from the midnight hit and run).

Hi, thanks yes that would be great. Had a quick look and they could be just the thing. And some first had reviews/test ride would be great. Thanks

Hi, I’m starting the early stage research into cargo bikes. Use will be lugging tools to jobs up in town, so something that can take a fair bit of weight, but also has a good old area for sustainer tool boxes. Will require a battery, where should I start? Any good shops in London to have a look/test ride? Thanks Tom

Hi, as per the title, I’m looking for a Hoy Bonaly disc bike with 24” wheels for my kid. I’m se27, so easy pickup from there ideally. Message me if you have one, or something similar.
Thanks
Tom

Do a load of research into tents, look at the plans and measure it out etc, then search eBay. We have 7 yo and a 4 yo, started with a nylon tent, now have poly canvas, which is so much cooler and warmer. We got an outwell Hawaii reef for about £250, not blackout, heavy but great family tent. (Def get blackout)

PM’d.

Also, would you split? I’m only after shifter, derailleur and chain and cassette.

Hi, what speed is this please, 11?

I would wait for the huit repair. It takes a while, but for the cost of postage you get a very good repair. I sent a pair back twice for repair. Probably more darn than denim now!

My little one has one of these, as good as the ones you mentioned, but generally a bit cheaper.

Good luck

I could be interested. how quickly do you need to gone?

I’m interested will pm now & take if @dsalmon doesn’t

So much want! Hard to get past watching eyes. These frames are so good.

Do you have a pic of the sole on the pink blazers? Thanks

2nd dibs. Will pm

I found a good eBay deal on an outwell. Really well made, and polycotton so better at staying cool. Very heavy though at about 50kg for poles and tent, but would happily camp for a week with a 6y and 3y old as sturdy and relatively cool.

I just got some from decathlon, quite thick and come in 2 lengths.

As above, to work with 42 tooth also after cassette, chain etc if a part used set is available.
Thanks
Tom

Thanks for the hire advice, think we have found a Seat Alhambra for £300, so much more like it. Anyone know if the kids seats can go in the back row? Thanks

Edit - @ltc Thanks for the Vans for bands option, have emailed.

I think I remember someone here renting a 7 seater, any advise on the cheapest place? Also seem to remember something about kids seats at the very back, any advice or direction of where to look greatly appreciated. Sixt only offered a mini bus at nearly £600 for a weekend, seemed a bit rich, but maybe not?

Am I missing something at Swinley, I went a few years ago, felt like I was going uphill a lot for not the most interesting downs. For an hour and a bits drive out from SE I always end up In Peaslake, or thereabouts. Should I revisit Swinley, are there good off-piste areas/bits?

I have some old think rockshox rebar forks with adjustable travel from 100-130, which I had on an inbred. Qr, straight steerer also v brake comparable, but of Stanton wear but still function smoothly etc. Let me know if you might be interested and I can dig them out check over etc.

A fair few puddles yesterday, but really not that bad. All relatively small/not too deep

Thanks, might wait for the dry days in a couple of days time and go to peaslake. Can only get out for one ride, so a day in Surrey is probably where to go. (Working on getting out twice hence possible Bedgebury tomorrow)

Anyone been to Bedgebury recently? Is it riding ok or a slop fest? Is it even open?
