^ Impressive. Photos/blog/ride report?

Ride report might be a stretch, but we kept a blog (for family & friends, it ain't designed to be a money-spinner) at www.canvasandwheels.com

If you want a really good blog, Emily Chappell's is great: www.thatemilychappell.com (you may even know her!)

And if you're ever thinking of doing this, www.travellingtwo.com is a great place to start.

Got a year to spare? In that time, for much less than €10k, you can cycle from London to Sydney. I know because I've just done it. Fun trip!

Ok so this nutter is planning on cycling around the world on a fixed gear bike:

yep, still available.

Does anyone have a pressure gauge they no longer want or use? It's for cycle touring so the old-fashioned dial-style preferred...

Hi Henrik -

I've been looking at this in depth over the last few months - have just ditched my job, rented the house out, and about to take off on a ride from London to NZ. Why the fuck not eh?

26" wheels - don't bother unless you're outside Europe or North America and even then, it's not a huge drama by all accounts - just take spares. Schrader is better than Presta, and Schwalbe Marathon Mondial Evolutions are the current tyres of choice.

Steel's good if you think there's a likelihood you'll need to weld a crack but like Yoav says, pretty much anything's fine. My missus has crossed Europe twice on a Trek 7.3. I did it on a steel cyclocross (Gary Fisher Lane, just flogged it).

FWIW we've both stumped up for Surly LHTs but if you've feeling minted, go for a Thorn with a Rolhoff on it.

Spa Cycles (no relation, just a very happy customer) are very competitively priced for most touring stuff and offer a pretty good range of bikes at reasonable prices.

Brooks, in case it's not been posted...

Hi -

PM me an offer?

If you wanted to go somewhere other than Nepal, I can thoroughly recommend Ethiopia as a hiking destination - you could easily fly in and out of Addis and still do a week-10 day hike in the Simiens... Cheaper flights than Nepal, closer, worth a thought.

You don't need a guide - don't waste your money. Of the two you suggest, IMHO the circuit's the better walk. Two weeks might be a bit of a squeeze though...

SOLD

Hi -

I've got a 54cm 2009 Flyer for sale. It's stock, but I've changed the saddle to a WTB SST (the saddle pictured is not included), put some Rubino Pros on it, and it's currently got risers, lizard skin grips and a Goldfinger. I've got the original white drops if you want them too.

£250

@maxtm - cheers, but I have a macbook already.
