Google nv200 camper conversion and a couple of pics turn up with a side/rear canopy.
Edit; a batwing awning might be what you’re looking for?

RDW told the owner we would like to see his creation. They were right.
This guy build this overlander camper in his garage. 4 cylinder turbo diesel and the electric drivetrain from a Leaf 😳

Thanks! Now I need to decide what shade of grey I like best…

Looking to buy a dirt jumper so I can practice pumping and jumping on the local (dirt) pump track and jump line. Current shortlist is: Rose the Bruce, Cannondale Dave, or Commencal Absolut. Any tips on these bikes?

The infamous moist sump set-up…

@Dammit No real info. Only know of 1 conversion we did that changed hands recently. And that one is not really a good example because it was a 2CV that was converted for Coca Cola as a giveaway. The winner was a huge CC fan but didn’t use the 2CV.
@Chak Sure, send me a dm

I’ll post a comprehensive step by step in the EV thread about converting using the DS as an example for those interested.

Nope, you source you’re own. And any restauration work needs to be done either before you drop it of or after you pick it up. And then you spend another couple of months chasing down all the squeeks and rattles you didn’t hear because of the noise of the ICE 😅.
Given your attention to detail cost will probably double…

I’m pretty sceptical about the claims this bloke makes. 15kWh is not enough to do 100km range and would be around €3000 ex VAT for just the batteries. Would need massive subsidies to be affordable.

Yeah, we’re in Delft. The DS is around €40.000. That’s including labour and VAT. Big chunk of that is the batteries; €240-€250 per kWh, so about €16.000 inc VAT.
A Beetle with 44kWh, building it yourself from a kit, would be €25.000-€30.000

DS nr two in the shop right now. Being fitted with a Hyper9 based drivetrain and 66kWh of batteries. Electro hydraulic pump installed for the suspension and brakes.

Goal: 80kg with more muscle mass

From this week on I’m going to eat a bit more and keep training on the bike and keep lifting weights. See if I can remain 80ish kg and lose a bit more flab.

Goal 80kg with more muscles

Slow steps but moving in the right direction. Last week of my ten week beginners training schedule starts tomorow, adding more weightlifting to my week after this. And longer days mean more riding outside instead of riding on my trainer 😊.

Duvet and one of those blue Ikea bags with a zip work to stash it in perfect for us.

Goal 80kg with lower % of body fat.

Feeling stronger on and of the bike after a month of training.

Enjoy a well earned beer!

Happy with small step in the right direction.

@Acliff
4 slices of bread instead of 8 with lunch and 1 pc of fruit on my coffee breaks instead of 2pc+cake. And fewer beers on the weekend.

2/1 83kg

Not what I was hoping for after three weeks of moderate eating and working out 6 hours a week. Had two servings of fries/chips at dinner last night though. And snacked on the cheese afterwards for to long I guess.

Question for @skinny ; what’s the MTBing like around Girona? What sort of trails are there predominantly?

Edit; Wrong thread 🤦🏼‍♂️
@Norfolkbound I’m in awe, great going so far and enjoy some time off in a weeks time!

Dibs on the Bosco…

*Only if Bosco is the doggo

Did my first Zwift “race” yesterday 🥵. Part of my more riding was buying a second hand Tacx smart trainer and starting a training plan on Zwift. Entered the FFWD race series as an extra training session. Finished 148th of 190 finishers. Rest day today, training tomorow and MTB ride on Saturday. No idea ‘bout weight as I don’t own a scale and can only weigh at my gf.

Big extra motivation; planning a trip to São Miguel (Azores) to go mountainbiking in June

Current weight 83kg, goal 80ish but lose the bellyfat and put on some muscle again.
I worked really hard to reach 80kg a year ago, was the heaviest I ever been at that weight, but quit working out and riding much less while eating the same 🤦🏼‍♂️. 186cm/6’1, 41yrs, 31 waist (only just). More riding, more workouts, less snacking and alcohol.

Just got back from my inlaws in Perugia, ate a lot of panettone and brought a couple back with me. Will eat them tonight 😊
