Handy way to transport a spare rim? Just weld back together when needed

OK no probs, let me know. Just measured up and it looks good so would defs take it if the others don't!

Strong name, strong bike

Thanks a lot!
Yeah you're absolutely right, but the jtek thumbie adapters don't have a cable stop, so I'd just be using it for that rather than adjustment. Could probably get away with a stepped ferrule or something like that, which I also don't have

Ah cheers!
Yeah I'm really enjoying the trek with the new bars. Inline levers are a revelation too, nice to be able to feel a bit more chilled in upright position when I'm getting through traffic etc

Made some progress on the Raleigh royal this morning, thanks in part to helpful people on the mechanics and fixing thread. Found a stem which will go in past the min insertion point, so I'm less worried about it being road worthy. Also tried out some jtek thumbie adapter things to use with the bar end shifters that originally came with the bike. Annoyingly I didn't realize they don't come with barrel adjusters, I managed to harvest one from an old derailleur but need another one for the left thumbie. I think it looks great with these shifters and a proper quill stem, but will wait and see if my partner is happy with this setup...

Nice ride out to epping via walthamstow marshes today. Had planned a longer ride using a suggested route on komoot but got freaked out when it suggested joining the north circular, so opted instead for a mindful cup of tea by the frozen over hollow ponds... Much more zen.
This is going back up for sale shortly as I'm a numpty and didn't check if the fork crown hole was the right size. Will do a sale thread in a bit but thought I'd give anyone following this thread a heads up!
