Selling this mattress as I've moved in with my partner and she doesn't get on with it. Only used intermittently for about a year. It's a king size, medium softness - although full disclosure it's definitely softer than when I got it. Not sure if this will continue. Collection only, just off Brixton hill.
£100

I think I tried this and couldn't get it to clear the front tyre, but depends how low your rack is. Might have issues with road spray too. I figured I'd mount it below one of the parallel rails on the right, with something like this but in the right diameter. Never found the right mount though.

I used these with one side cut off. Condor seem to do a neater version now.

Haha thanks. It's held up pretty well but it's basic, just one big pocket and no lining. Some more bags I've made on my CP thread.

I've embraced the disc brake dark side, but you don't have to.
Selling my Trek Madone with Ultegra di2 and Scribe alloy wheels. I built it from a NOS frameset as a temporary replacement for a broken bike but liked it so much I've ridden it for a couple of years. Ridden plenty but looked after well - there a couple of scuffs here and there but nothing major. Everything works as it should.
Current tyres are Vittoria open pave 27mm with maybe 300km on them. Bar tape similarly fresh. Bars are Zipp Sl70 ergo (42cm) and stem is a kalloy uno (115mm). It's slammed on the tall headset cover, with 1cm left above. Brand new cables and lining in the Jagwire link outers. Saddle swapped for a brand new Selle Italia novus boost since photos. I'll throw in a spare cassette (currently 11-32, but a little old. Spare will be almost new 11-28), di2 charger and homemade frame bag. Geometry available here - I've got the saddle at 75cm which is about as low as it will go.
£950. Located in Brixton and not keen on posting.

Repeating other tips here but some thoughts and photos to get you in the mood. V jealous. Riding in the mountains is just the best.
Do Col de l'Iseran. It's my favourite climb ever, so wild and beautiful. Do it from the Bonneval side as it's a big road up to Val d'Isère otherwise, and ridiculously long.
+1 for doing the Cormet de Roselend via col du Pré. That way you go over the dam and join the main road for the last few k. It's a tough climb, and I'd had a big Beaufort cheese pie at the bottom so was feeling heavy. This is the view from the top of col du Pré.
The Madeleine is lovely and surprisingly quiet. Good burger at the top too.
Also agree that smaller lesser known climbs can be great. Look out for balcony roads that link up the villages on the mountainside. Did a great one up from Aime in the Isère valley, which links back up to Bourg st Maurice. V rough road though so wouldn't descend to Aime.
