  I remember yours! Just found it again with a quick search, yours is almost exactly how I think mine will turn out haha!

  Don't suppose you know the difference between a courier comp and a pathfinder?

  This is my new project, planning on a commuter/light tourer kinda thing.

  Plan atm is new wheels, v brakes, 1x, rack and basket, slicks, mudguards, longer seatpost and different saddle, probably different bars, levers and shifters.

  Hoping to do it relatively cheaply as I got it as pictured for €50 and don't have any parts for it so it'll be a slow burner I think.

• Bikepacking - a viable alternative to racks & panniers

  Went and did a 220 km day trip with a friend during the week. Didn't have it in us to face the rain and cycle another 9 hours home the next day haha so we got the train back.

  First time doing a kind of tour and we loved it. I'd definitely want a better saddlebag or luggage setup though, or one of the carradice rack holder things, because it was hitting my legs the whole time and swinging pretty hard out of the saddle. The carradice is great though, delighted to get a lend of it.

  Need to take more photos though! (And save them without the Instagram story captions on them)

  Bit late sorry, but I went with the 42-44 large size and I'm 44. They fit perfectly even after being washed a few times

  atout.cc have some really nice quality plain colour socks. I've a load of pairs and some of their jerseys, I'd recommend.

  I actually googled it and read a newer/ more helpful page and I can do 144hz with hdmi 1.4, so I think I'll just have one with DP, one with HDMI and that should be fine.

  It's desktop btw, but thanks for that dock link, think I might get one for my brother to use my older monitors.

  My new graphics card has only 1 displayport out on it. I have just gotten 2x 144hz monitors. Is there any way of using both monitors at 144hz other than buying a new graphics card with multiple dp outs?

  Feeling very dim right now
