It's a Velo Orange Polyvalent. Bought on the forum.

That's just the camera angle, there's plenty of room in there for guards. Maybe not with a bigger tyre though.

Really needs a black headset

He he. First ride today. There's a combination of things that might make this my favourite bike and 650b's are one of them.

I have gravel kings in 700x32mm and 27.5x1.75". These ones have a slick middle strip with light tread on the shoulders whereas the 700's have two slick shoulders with tread in the middle (which makes no sense to me). Having tried Tarmac, dirt, gravel, trail and cobbles I really rate these gravel kings.

I've just ordered a pair of 27.5x2.0 Scwhable Land Cruiser Plus's for slightly more rugged touring in Wales. £13.99 at chain reaction at the moment.

Nice. I really enjoy riding mine.

That steamroller is perfect! Nice work, I especially like the rack design.

I like your set up, I'll be aiming for something similar on mine. How did you split the weight between front rack and saddle pack?

Flat bars for the Dolan which has transformed to the live-outdoors-in-bike-hanger-pub-bike. This frame has been so versatile over the 7 or so years I've owned it.

Obviously needs zip ties. And a good clean.

On One beater in SS mode. I permanently destroyed the deraileur hanger a couple of winters ago.

I was planning a similar route for next spring Hoek van Holland to Copenhagen. Probably over 6 days.

I toured fixed in the Netherlands this spring. I can't think of anywhere better suited for it. No particular advice. I bikepacked covering around 80k a day at most and had no complaints.

Booking camp sites isn't necessary, they always have space for cyclists. We usually arrived after the camp office was closed and just sorted it out in the morning.

Navigating by google maps works really well for bike paths.

Thanks.

Know what you mean about the width, they feel bigger than they measure.

Visually the bike needs mudguards I think. It's a shame I don't like mudguards.

Getting close...

They measure 38mm wide

That's not even half the fluff. I swear we empty more fur out of the Hoover on a weekly basis than he actually has on him!

Ah, that explains it. He did sit inside the rims for ages.

Jasper wouldn't leave these rims alone. Mostly because he liked licking the cellophane wrap I think. Strange.

They're for a Velo Orange Polyvalent which is designed for 650b. Will be posting pictures soon...

Pacenti SL23 with Panaracer gravel King. I cannot wait to get these on the road

That is by far the nicest e bike kit I've seen.

That looks like a great trip. I am having so much trouble picking my next trip, but I do like the idea of that route.

I really like this. With the hanger you could always make it a geared bike later on.

Yes, I am hoping to this on a small budget but the more I look into it the more expensive it gets.

A good point about second hand batteries. It doesn't seem like there's much of a market anyway.

From the brief research I've done I've realised this is a bit of a rabbit hole and will take a lot more research and money than I expected. Might be a slow burner.
