Just thought some of you might like to see the view of Le Tour Stage 3 from the start line in Cambridge. Marcel Kittel was right in front of us as they waited for the off, good stage win from him. Froome was hiding in the middle not too far away. My daughter loved it, even the five hour wait didn't bother her, it seems! Just hope this visit from Le Tour changes the attitude of some of the drivers here in Cambridge, doubtful i know.

Also a video from my randomly interesting you tube channel, showing me installing a new bottom bracket and chainset on the Beater.

Link to the video i made of the start line on the day of the depart from Cambridge. Awesome spot to watch from, good to see the riders and bikes up close.

may be interested, a bit steep for me atm, any pics?

Sorry. He sold it already. He usually has a few things up for sale elsewhere online. I'll keep an ear out for any other frames he gets.

For Sale : Deda crononero low rider bars 42cm band new never fitted, immaculate £22

Looking for: Steel Frameset with track dropouts, 56/58cm c-c, or equivalent

Tah

A mate of mine is selling a 22" John Pavey frameset for £175. Not track dropouts but horizontal. Comes with bb, miche seatpost and quill stem/drops.

Any framesets knocking about for sales? Looking for 56cm frameset, preferbly with bb and headset. As usual, not much cash around, so something around 100 beans would be cool. Track or horizontal dropouts, dont mind a few scratches but not too beater.
Cheers folks.
(Actually, i'm going to respray my beater and tart up my mtb for now. A new frame can wait)

How about a Guy Martin signature Rourke frame? With a percentage going to spinal injuries charity that Guy is involved in.

Awesome achievement by all involved, Guy is a proper inspiration to get out and enjoy life.

I thought i was mad touring with single speed. Your trip sounds mad and cool. Good luck and good choice of bike.

Green white and pink Cutter locked near the Grafton. Chain looked slack enough to skip with!

Update.
Got some drops as they were on sale in a LBS closing down sale. Ordered another stem, brake levers and black cinelli tape. Should give the bike a more classic touring look.
Pics to follow.

Not so much a for-sale, more a piece of info. I managed to bag a few choice bike parts from Howes Cycles closing down sale. Specialised drop bars SR crankset and some deore brake levers.
Shame we are losing another bike shop, even one that was always a bit pricey. I hope the other shops stay put, especially Billy's and Bicycle Ambulance.

Just did a 44 mile ride, fully loaded. Everything stayed attached, a few things need adjusting, otherwise all is well. Even the mtb bars felt better, not so much wrist/hand ache.
Now, time for an overnighter.

Ordered a mini front rack, velcro straps and a motorbike cargo net. The net will go over the rear rack to keep the bulky bits secure. The front rack will be for either sleeping bag, tent or something light-ish. Once i have these bits im off on a mini tour. Also ordered a Tyco Suzuki back pack. But that's mainly for commuting, bought to celebrate Guy Martin winning the triple in Ireland. If you don't know him he is a British superbike road racer and mountain biker who also does a bit of Truck mechanics and TV shows about British Industry.
Basically, a top bloke.

Anyway. Got a few campsites earmarked for riding to on my mini tour. More planning to do.

^^ Brilliant news. Restores faith in humanity doesn't it. Combi locks are a waste of time. We used to pick them (for fun) at school to prove how easy it was. That was many years ago. Seems those type of locks are still useless. I lock my bikes with one or two d-locks, depending which bike it is. September to November is peak thieving season in Cambridge, so take care.

Mmm. Tempted by this as a front rack.

Going to order drops,brake levers and tape.

I reckon the 13L one would be ok.

^yep. Velcro is the way.

Oh, and the bags on the top of the rack will be tied down too.

Test loading the bike with some camping gear, string will be replaced by proper straps. Also going to attach a bag at the front on the bars. Otherwise it's all set for a little trip out one weekend soon.

Yep. Guess i could shorten it.

Well done on the London-Edinburgh ride. Enjoyed reading the journal. Glad you liked Cambridge (my hometown). What are these "hills" you speak of? There are a few slightly less than flat roads :-)
Hoping to get my tourer on some less ambitious, but equally fun rides. With only a single gear!

Got a SKS raceblade for the front wheel. Looks better than the chunky crudcatcher i tried. Otherwise all the rest is the same. Been busy lately so havent done a proper long distance ride. Going to see how i can load some camping gear on the bike. I reckon taking the tent poles and strapping them to the top tube would help spread the load. Most of my gear has specific pouches or bags, so whatever isnt in the pannier bags could be attached elsewhere.

^yep.
