ugh was thinking of going to Swinley this weekend. Maybe the last muddy ride of the season then if I can brave it

Seabass, Parts & Labour, SBC deal with offroad/touring builds a fair bit (assuming offroad since you said "29er").

Will PM @dumps to see if I can get the shifters + mech at once.
Thanks all, will let you know if still interested in other offers.

Yours for £10? Collect in SE4 or can post at extra cost
Mind these are the XL ones, for up to 32mm tyres. Fit fine on my retro racer, caliper brakes, 28mm rubber.

Edit: higher quality photo

Got "SKS Raceblade PRO XL" in black... I think, will check at home tonight and post here.

Hi, looking for RD-5701-GS (medium cage) and ST-5700 models. Working condition of course, don't mind scratches and other cosmetic damage.
Cheers

We were, representing Badgers! On the train back now

yes!

Great photos! Really enjoyed this trip

Prolly preaches all the right things about this. DO IT!

Yes for 28th

Weather looking decent, possibly a little rain Saturday evening, and some Sunday afternoon. Maaaaybe at night according to Windy. (Windy, Met Office)
Sleeping out then. And taking a rain jacket. Stoked

I will be meeting @Dogs 9:30 in Chingford in case somebody else was going to be at the lock.

Can share some bike and camping stuff, post or message what you’re after. Hope the weather is dry for some open air sleeping.
Stem bag was donated by Envelope Bagworks, muchas gracias!

See you there!

Checked out Claypit Hill today. So peaceful

My Alpkit Cloudbase is leaking and I can't bloody find the hole, but will now check better at the valve in case it's the same fault.
Probably time to upgrade anyway, Exped UL/HL look good.

Nobody dropped - check
Cat petting on the way to Chingford - check

Bank holiday Monday - Chingford @ 11am (Tottenham Hale Lock 10am)?

Certainly looks like it

whooo looks so good for a trail+bikepacking capable bike. Only gripe is no stealth dropper routing. Maybe I should upgrade from OnOne Deedar...

Edit: probably not getting that one as the size won't fit me, no stealth routing, silly 27.5+ thing, ...

But then a question to everyone: what are other EU based frame makers with similar offerings in terms of geometry and price?

I really can't see what spending extra would get you

Personally it's peace of mind that the kit will deliver on the stated quality (e.g. waterproofness) in the worst conditions I might potentially use it in. To a lesser extent the marginal gainz from thoughtful design, knowing you're supporting small businesses, and the looks too tbh.

But, as you said, this seems like brilliant value for money, so I hope it does just well for people getting into bikepacking or not planning on taking themselves and gear to extremes. Net positive outcome of more folks enjoying the sport imo.
Lookup a FB bikepacking group of a less rich country than the UK - almost nobody is talking/selling/buying Revelate. AliExpress kind brands seem to flourish there.

Thanks all, this was a great day out!

Stay safe and watch out for those mercs

Arriving to Reading at 09:41, should make it to Tilehurst for 10.

Count me in

ugh non-stop rain for two days...

I'd be up for getting out there anyway for a day ride. Attempt as much of the route as possible, depending on how people feel. Cut short if it stops being fun.
