How big is the bike @amey? I’m semi local and have a van if you need it collecting a storing for a bit. Also on a mainline to Paddington - so repeat of the same problem

Ah thank you - and yeah need a S4 so is £2600 there.

Good to know that the storage stuff is useful.

I’ve just seen the carbon 2023(?) is available for similar money - so I will sleep on maybe getting that.

Has anyone seen a better deal than the specialized Stumpjumper evo alloy (on leisure lake), if I’m looking for a bigger travel end of a trail bike new bike for around £2.5k mark?

Ideally 150mm ish front travel 29er and slightly more trail than enduro. I can’t see a comparable deal on a nukeproof reactor or a canyon spectral for comparison.

Ah perfect thanks - that makes sense

I look forward to the Tenerife report

Sold pending collection

Will make a forum donation

This seems wise - is there a straight post mount shimano 11 speed compatible brake though? That’s why I thought I needed SLX or similar from googling.

But I guess like these?

Sorry yeah - I meant find whatever shimano levers work (as in the bike isn’t built at the moment so I am waiting for a working shimano setup)

This looks great

I've the same frame and am thinking about rebuilding it - is there a reason you didn't use post to flat mount adaptors for the brakes? I'd thought (probably wrongly) I could get a grx group running that way.

I’ve somehow ended up in a disc brake compatibility fever dream, and wanted to see how others would approach…

I’ve:

• an IS mount older CdF I want to build up for touring
  
• a post mount Ritchey Swiss Cross with older sram rival group/brakes that I want to rebuild with shimano
  
• a complete Ultegra group with BR-R8070 brakes (and bh-90 hose)
  
  

I think my best bet is:

• put the BR-R8070 on the Ritchey with some post to flat adaptors (and look out for GRX derailleur and whatever 11 speed levers)
  
• buy some SLX BR-M7100 on the CdF with IS to post adapter (and work out what I need to make these work with bh90 - hose is long enough already)
  
  

Or

By some second hand hope rx4 as they are pretty

Or

Buy a canyon

Am I missing a more sensible option (apart from buy a more modern frame...)?

some frame blemish details - sorry for bad photos - see here for a much better one of this very frame

Strael 2.0 56T with Chris King headset and Hope seatclamp

For sale because most of my road-biking is now touring and most of my weekend riding is now off-road. Its a really great bike and the pdf hype is real

I can drop off in Birmingham + anywhere an hour's drive from Worcester/sort of M5 corridor. Alternatively I’m in London for work regularly - but probably not until the new year now.

I’ve a box but prefer not to post - and like to give preference to active users

Condition:
I’d say 7/10 - some paint rub from bags, paint chipped off top mudguard bosses, fork has been drilled for a dyno light (professionally by previous owner)

Price:
£$old and I will throw the S-works stem in!

A pink Stayer in the GWR storage bit on the way out of Paddington tonight - healthy amount of enve and wizard works on it! Very on here

This is great - old times work too

Dream bike - definitely worth the pink paint upgrade

Katu-e update - we got one at the sale price and are really happy with it

• I routed all the cables through the rack, but could still do with shortening long term
  
• put on a 700c pannier rack, fit is fine and also allows a light passenger
  
• The quill slipped a bit initially, but has been sorted
  
  

Feels like a lot of bike for £1600

To do:

• Dropper post
  

Look good - was all the fettling of the rack specifically because of the child seat?

I’ve just jumped on the bandwagon and trying to work out what pannier rack to get.

There’s a thread in current projects about one and also another few owners on here if you search comments. All seems pretty positive.

We just bought one as they are reduced on Westbrook cycles - will update you when it turns up.

viynl flaps are inspired - off cuts that coincidentally match?

pm'ed

Thomson layback post added and £10 drops on all DA and praxis bits. See first three posts.

Thanks!

I’ve this (layback not straight) Ritchey post that would match nicely - it doesn’t fit anything else I own!

We have a Lanshan 2f with pretty much that use case and extending up to a weeks touring each year. Our one is into its third season and holding up really well. There’s a one person model also.

144 - I think I got it fitted on a pair of DA7600, is good nick.

Yes sorry!

Re PDW chat - I fitted 45mm pdw over 32mm tyres on my strael 2.0 no issue. I drilled the rear to fit the bridge directly.

I couldn’t see an answer for fit on 2.0 online - incase anyone else was wondering!
