Arranged to collect tomorrow morning! 4.5hr round trip to Bovey Tracey here I come…

Huls Nalgene cage might be nice for the Carrier, PMd!

…

Update:

I’m collecting your bike from powdercoating today, assembling tomorrow and then it’ll be ready to collect at the weekend or next week, or I can post it of course too.
I’m sorry it’s taken a while, but we’re there now!

Swindon? Excellent connectivity by rail to Bristol/Bath and Reading/London, house prices way less than both Reading and Bath and £300K could buy a nice 3-bed semi. Town centre is depressing though, but there's the Outlet Village and the Magic Roundabout... I'm a born and bred Swindonian though so may be biased.

Price drops on items other than the bags.

Count me in.

Sure thing Mat, thanks!

130 or 135 rear hub there jontea?

Those look like 930ALs which are short pull Mini Vs. That being the case, I have a Dia Compe Tech 77 short pull LH lever you can have if you want it? The only thing is, it looks like this lol

Sounds like an interesting venture, Dan. I know nothing about herbal teas or their market in the UK but wondered if you've garnered feedback on your blends from friends and family in the first instance?

I'd park the idea of production facilities until you have a following of sorts and a steady stream of orders coming in. At this stage, I'd probably focus on market research, impartial product feedback from friends and family, perhaps having a general chat with the Outdoor Provisions guys to ask how they went about establishing themselves as a small brand in the outdoor space, and setting up a website and social media presence if the research and feedback stacks up over time. All of that can be done for free, or with very little.

There are also registration requirements depending on whether you're planning to market the teas as herbal medicine in the UK, but that's not immediately relevant.

I believe this is the one you purchased from me on eBay (together with the BB and fit kit), delivered this morning, now for sale here with a healthy mark-up. I'll pass, but GLWS.

I don't suppose you have the matching BB for sale too, by chance?

Hi, can you share a photo pls?

You may know of this already but Brompton have quite a few vacancies going in Greenford.

Purple Jones on eBay for £1,400.

7 km/h, tops. A homage I guess. Thank you Riaz, sending you a huge hug.

Seems in bad taste to continue posting about my current projects in light of Hayley’s passing but I reckon she’d have been supportive of the Big Dummy’s current 26+ getup. One thing I know for sure is that I already miss her presence on this forum so much. I might conclude this thread with a photo of the Carrier once it’s done — who knows when that’ll be — and leave it there, let’s see.

Heartbreaking. She will be dearly missed.

A weekend well-spent! How does it ride? Good weather for mudguards!

Gevenalle sold, seat clamp moved to eBay.

Looking good! If you don’t notice a difference with the cantis then I’ll pull the “UsE kOoLsToPs” card lol. This is probably the best guide I’ve read on setting them up though:

Cool headset too, will look even better once weathered and beausaged on the commuter.

Bought these Gevenalle CX shifters off the forum earlier this year for £40 collected but don’t have use for them at the moment. Yours for £40 plus £5 postage. They’re new! 1x10sp shimano road compatible. Comes with a shift cable and instructions. I love Gevenalle, have the 2x11sp ones on my road bike and can’t fault them.

Engin seat clamp, made in ‘Philly’. I didn’t realise my bike needed a 30mm clamp, and this one is 33.1. Again, new and unused. I paid £30 for it so you can have it for that price including UK postage.

Ah yes, those pesky GPs with their lucrative career paths in the NHS…kerching! lol
