hi, i just got back from doing lands end - john o groats, and went near your route from kendle onwards to inverness, kendle to penrith over the hill through shap is fun and not that bad really, then from gretna we followed the m74 and there is a cycle track nearly all the way to glasgow, we went more west after glasgow towards oban and followed the coast and lochs which is amazing scenery and fairly flat most of the way to inverness, nothing really killer hilly but the A roads can be scary with all the logging lorries and tourist buses, there is plenty of b&bs up there as well.

that is probly better idea

why dont you just get a decent bike off here for like 300 quid and ride it

hey congrats on doing this, im thinking of doing it in september and just wondering if there is a recognised route or anything ? did you do it fixed ?

Strada on North Street Bedminster is pretty good for bits and pieces as is bike workshop on colston street, which is in the centre, also a guy who has a workshop and usually lots of second hand parts in montpelier 'jakes bikes' hes got a website i think...have to look him up,
hope thats of some help. cheers ta.

like a 15 mph version and got away with just a few grazes, oh and lance didnt nearly run me over then go through a field....nuts

yea it came with the frame and the wheel is a silly 24" thing, ive been looking for a clincher version but not found anything yet, it was pretty old so i think the glue and tyre were just past their best, but im definatly not up for it happening again, its not the usual ride so untill i can glue the new beast on properly it might have a little break.

riding back from few drinks last night and my front tub came off the rim on a corner and i slammed hard, could have been a lot worse though...it was quite an old tire and old glue, anyone have any experiences like this or do i just need some new glue/tape/tyre ??

ive got a lo-pro with 24" front tubular wheel, just wondered if anyones heard of a 24" clincher road wheel/tyre i could replace it with to make life easier ??? cheers...

i can screenprint for you if you want ?

that pic of DONDI is well good. RIP

Overburys is still there in st Pauls they stock Bianchi and make custom track frames if you ask nicely, mostly lycra roadies and MTBs but seeing quite a few fixed around and getting popular very fast, lots of the skaters ride them, i got 42 14 and get around fine, a few hills are good for you. also loads of good day rides around either on cycle paths ie Bath and onwards or just quiet country roads.

thanks...

can anyone tell me what saddle it is on that russian bike last page ?? cheers.
