excellent work!

this is excellent!
would bonding the BB end and using the seatpost clamp at the top be enough to keep it secure?

interested in the LX v-brakes and the 105 mechs

also re: poncho
blacks outdoor shop have ponchos in a range of colours for £3 in the sale.
got myself a snazzy bright yellow one, not ridden in it yet though so it might well be shit.

I'll have the brother T if it's a med or large and you're willing to post?

true! fellow leicesterfarian?

rubber side up?

i considered the train due to the ice on the car roofs this morning but decided to ride instead.
glad i did.

do you find you get more close passes etc. since having cameras?
i used one for a while, but ultimately stopped using it... i'm not sure if it made me more aggressive / confrontational as a rider, or whether i just noticed bad drivers more as i was subconsciously looking out for them to capture them on film...
i think it made me more 'zen' after stopping using it.

looks tidy! i'm still fettling the position on my kepler. i need a 120mm stem to get me closer to the position i'm used to.
frame is ace though. stuck some nano's on for some offroad action last week. great fun!

i really fucking hate non-indicators... i don't understand how it's possible to be so lazy to not move your fingers a couple of cm's.
the trend for those shitty adaptive cornering lights only make the issue worse as far as i can tell

schools are starting to go back it would seem.
traffic levels / close passes back up as people remember how to drive in traffic, or not, as was the case with the bmw driver who had clipped a kerb at speed and totalled his 'ultimate driving machine' backwards into a lamppost at a busy roundabout...

happy new year!

evans are pretty accommodating when it comes to test rides

so my dolomite will be a collector's item now!
I'm glad to see that they're still going ahead with a 2019 launch despite the change in ownership. I guess the 2019 range was already sorted beforehand.
it'll be interesting to see if it's a similar story this time next year.

interested in pizza rack if selling seperately

true... I'm sure it'll be long gone before that though

would be all over this if I hadn't just bought a frameset last week!
promised I wouldn't buy any more bikes this year...😩

sorry, I did apologise!
the build was a bit thrown together, have a small shopping list post Xmas.
bigger tyres (paselas maybe?) -8 gloss black stem (researching currently) might go for slightly flared bars, bigger range rear cassette, replace silver 105 mechs for black, longer term some new wheels.
unfortunately wasn't able to fit the guards as I don't have a thread chaser and the eyelets were a bit painty.
rides real good!

built my Kepler up yesterday for an inaugural ride to the leics and rutland CTC mince pie run.
wet and horrible and thoroughly enjoyable!
apologies for crappy nds photo.

edit : added a less crappy photo

nice! I've got the steel frame version of this, folded up and unloved at the moment.
is the hinge failure a problem on the steel ones as well as the aluminium ones?
I've hopped mine off loads of kerbs etc. in the past!

fair enough, the front seats can force you to ride a bit 'knees out'

I used to love having the kids on the bike. looking back it would have been awesome to have a proper cargo bike but didn't have the space or the cash for one at the time.

we had a yepp mini on a kid hauler up until the age of about 3 and a half, then switched to a cheap toptube mounted seat until she was old enough to ride her own bike.
for me, it felt much more secure having the kid between my arms than hanging off the back.
also meant you could chat easily with them and point stuff out easier.
this was on a single speed 26" MTB with 44 16 gearing.
not too much in the way of hills on our school run though...

impressive collection, but even more impressed with the ability to change things up!
looking forward to seeing the new things as and when they arrive!

last commute of the year today, got the train instead of full commute due to inclement weather conditions.
