I have the Tarpstar 2, or did till a fox bit one of the corner off
Looking at the online reviews I'd say that the Lanshan pro looks better made and , has been noted , you can open it up to get a better view .

My experience of bikes of that vintage is that you should be able to fit 32's and mudguards without any problems. 38's , depending on your rim, might be a challenge

As someone who rode that model in the 80s, I can confirm that the Claude Butler was built for 27" wheels.

Hold on

Doesn't LTN 1/20 cover this?

My impression is that 1/20 is unachievable across much of London's streetscape.
Waltham Forest is a good example of what it's unworkable
The bad infra is around the Baker's Arms being a case in point.
Perhaps we need to rethink how we do infra.

No, here's the bike.

And here's the bike.

Wonder if any of you would be interested in this or know anyone who might be.
Ridley cross bike
Fork is Kinesis
Sora + strong light chain set with 46/34 rings.
Also have spares.
Not really using it and will need space shortly
Fun to ride; it's fast and more fun than my Sonder Frontier.

Needs a new BB and you can see what else is required.

So, before I take it to the bike shop and spend more money, would anyone be interested.

I agree; but the bike market, new or used, is flat as the fens.

Looks like a proper jumble!

Did you let Andy Franks know?
He runs the Cycle Jumble page on FB and tries to list all jumbles.

No, I dragged myself up as Jules and Sandy might have said .

Anyway, sound like the Lea Valley CC social group might suit you? I think you can find them on Rider HQ.
Meet at the WF town hall gates on Sundays at 9.00am

It would easily fits into a saddle bag or on top of one.
Trying to remember how much space there is in it. I am 5ft 7ish and had no problems; which is not much help to a 6ft person.

I have one and have used it mostly festivals.

It's best described as compact though if I was cycle camping it's the one I'd take. Only problem I had was storage of kit .

And I have one

Attempted to install but doesn't fit; so almost new .

PM and we can sort out price etc...

Dirk is almost a UK Montgomery Cliff in the late 40s and early 50s; he's also in a film about Borstal boys. And then he does Dr in the House...

You can now watch Victim on Youtube.

The Singer not the Song is not one of Rank's finest.

The trousers in question

Re Once a Jolly Swagman

Is this Dirk's first appearance in leather?

Perhaps not quite as camp as his leather trousers in the "Singer not the Song".

And I have now cleaned it.

and more

And here are the pictures.

Hello, I brought this last year off the forum. Whilst it's been a fun bike to ride and fits me well (I am 5ft 8 btw) it's not being used enough and isn't quite the right bike for its intended purpose- ie road and off road touring. I realise now that a traditional tourer would have been the better choice.

But it's great for off road or on tracks- I ve used it mostly in Epping Forest and along the River Lea . It was a pleasure to ride it up to High Beach from Hollow Ponds, despite the mud of Higham's Park.

Anyway, I ve decided it's time to move it on .

So, it's Sonder Frontier with the 12 speed Deore groupset, 27.5 wheels , 30mm rims, and tubeless tyres; actually, one has an inner tube in at the moment, but it would be no trouble to return it to its tube less state.

Details of the bike are here: https://alpkit.com/collections/sonder-frontier.

Bike is in E10

Look forward to hearing from you.

Hello, I have a broken lace on one of my shoes.

Is there anywhere in London that will repair them?

and I wish I hadn't sold that bike!

I have a pair

Never fitted

Let me know if you are interested.
