  Avoid GK slicks.

  Yep, my experience hasn't been great. Running them tubed and had a few punctures from pretty small objects. Whether they would seal with sealant inside not sure. Seem to be getting cut up quite easily too. Lots of tiny road debris embedded.

  Had much better experience with GK SKs, though (again with tubes).

  I have owned it from new.
  New Cane Creek headset bearings put in today.

  In the time I had it had one minor spill the bike came through unscathed other than scratching to brake levers etc.

  Includes:
  Frame (Reynolds 725)
  Fork
  Headset (Cane Creek Forty)
  Stem (Planet X 110mm) NB. has 25.4mm handlebar clamp.
  Seatclamp
  Bolts (for bottle cages and racks) and barrel adjusters.

  Pics of it built up/ semi built up to give an idea of geo only.

  One thing I've noticed recently is the increased amount of litter by the side of the road, in rural places in particular. I don't know if people who would ordinarily be picking this up (council, volunteers etc) are not doing it now because of lockdown etc.

  Does anyone with a Stagg EKG kettle have any issues with limescale build up? Mine has built up a layer much quicker than expected. Fellow recommend cleaning with vinegar which I'm sure I read is not a good idea as it can taint the kettle afterwards.
