This winter is awfully bleak.

I ll keep my small monthly donation going,
I bet shutting down is costly financily .

Could you stick some disks on it?
Lovely bike.

The little flat bit at the drop out is really nice!
What 's the semi circle mid stay for?

The saddle looks damaged in Hulsroy pictures?
Beautiful bike, the straight extensions look really nice .

I trawl all the second hand sites,
buy brand new stuff there,
and managed to stay under 100,
thanks.

Ok.
I'm 60 years old,
and still hurting from having to spend more than 100 Euros on a pair of sneakers.
I was hoping they would last a year.
I'll save a bunch in a few years when I'll turn to walking.

Anyone using some Hoka Bondi 8?
I went for them because they were the sturdiest of the tarmac range.
I'm less than 70kg with a backpak, use them to commute 12 rolling km each day.
The sole is going at the heel after 8 months, not much left at the front.
I never ran on tarmac before, I'm not fast,30 min for 6km.
I was expecting a year out of those shoes.
Is this normal?

Inflatable swimming pool repair kit; very supple, very durable.

Dottore Bicicli message 8197 : get in touch , it will happen.

Robert Fisk was one of the first journalist to enter Sabra and Shatilla ,
his book The great war for civilisation, is a good read .

Puffin is on sale, just saw an ad.
No more virtual sailing,
I enjoyed the journey,
thank you.

Where is the EU list for these cages ?

You seemed set on sailing towards St Tropez,
when all the more secluded islands past Porquerolles were so close!
Porquerolles was protected since the 60's, it's a national park.
It's nice to hear it still shows even with a lot of traffic.

I'd love to sail to Corsica ,
I red a bit about it,
it seems to be either very very slow, or brutal.

Another dream crossing is from the Tuscany coast to Corsica.
It seems dotted with tiny islands when standing on top of the peaks close to the eastern shore.
In summer, the Italian coast is hazy but the Alps are clearly silhouetted across the horizon.
Seems like Puffin territory to me.

This is my third set of Hutchinson Overides.
I pushed this one to it's last throes, the internals are visible on many patches,
I was less confident with the previous ones.
They coped with 2 winters of ski touring in the Alps and Sancy , and one in the rocky south.
Only 2 punctures , a giant screw , and a fresh metal burr ; both sealed easily with an anchovy.
The only downside is that I needed a compressor to set them back up for last third of the lifespan of the last set.
Gone upmarket with some strada bianca recently, very difficult to set up.

Looks like a barn find, I'd be pissed.

Could Master Hulsroy check his personal messages?

No pipe!

I remember skinny looking for down.
French bag maker Triplezero, seems to be willing to sell me some:
"28 euros/100g de duvet + 18 euros de frais de prot"
didn't check if that's only to clients.

I check the thread from time to time, so dreamy!
Please go an check the islands next, Levant, Port Cros.
Beware of military exclusion areas.
I would avoid the Riviera this time of year.
I hope you checked French naval regulations, checks are numerous this time of year.
Signals,lighting, coms, don' t anchor in neptune grass areas.
Ask any capitainerie.

Xtremtextil do 850 down.

For down you could try Triple Zero, or Valandre.

Forks are missing.

Lovely thread,
would love my Confrérie 650 to allow 40+ tyres.
If you ever size down the 32 confrérie tyre is everything Grand Herse should be:
puncture proof, strong , light , supple.

Allora means then, in Corsican.

I don t follow this thread closely, please excuse me if this was mentioned here.

Just watched a couple.
Humbling.

Not really , I find it difficult to gauge street furniture, and off road it s very easy to misjudge the depth of rut and scrap the bottom.
The second photo is reassuring.
