Post updated with sold items, and a pic of the Huez jacket in all its blurple glory!

Sure - I would say it’s a proper waterproof, but with some breathability built in so has a tendency to get a bit waterlogged in super heavy rain. According to the review below it’s rated at waterpoofness and breathability of 20,000mm for both. Tbh it could probably do with a re-proof as well, and I think that would definitely help with some of the water logging. The main reason I’m selling is that I actually wanted an absolutely turbo-waterproof fortress and this is more of an active waterproof if that makes sense?
This review should give you a good idea hopefully https://advntr.cc/alpkit-balance-review/

Sorry didn’t see this until too late today - will message you some pics when I’m back home. Happy to post though if that works?

Clear out of a few bits that I’ve been meaning to shift on - doing a quick post now as I’m coming up to London tomorrow evening so could drop off then if anyone is keen. Will add proper pics and a few other freecycle bits when I I have a bit more time. Very happy to DM/whatsapp pics asap though if genuine interest. Collection in Bath/Bristol preferred, will be around Paddington and London Bridge tomorrow evening, and can post the items of clothing.
1) Pelago rack bag (L - 44l) - roll top tote designed to work with Pelago commuter racks amongst others. Bought new about a year ago, well used for 6 months and has a few scuffs outside and stains on the lining. Selling as I use it less than I thought I would for its intended purpose. These are £100 new atm - how about £40? - sold to @dots pending sorting posting/payment etc
2) Lime Green Alpkit Balance jacket - bought off here and worn a handful of times since then. There is a small tear on the rear (which I patched) and a tiny stain which came with the jacket. How does £35 sound? - sold pending payment to @tmevans
3) Huez bomber/baseball jacket, interesting blurple colour, XL (more like L), incredibly waterproof and also lots of vents - good waterproof for spring/autumn urban riding. £10?
4) Gore bike wear black shell L - ratty but still usable. Good wind proof but never been that waterproof - £beer/coffee
5) Pair of moderately used continental ultrasport 700cx28mm tires, probably had about 750km in them, still plenty of life left. £soldDibs followed by PM - thanks!

Yeah - +5 on the sage. Very happy BE owner here. The Sage Bambino is also a decent machine, and you can get a separate grinder (sage smart grind is okay, or get fancier with DF whatever/Niche etc etc) and have a more flexible set up that will also let you grind for filter

They had some of the medium at work a couple of years again which I ground for aeropress and it was surprisingly okay - however James Gourmet or YB (with code) espresso blends are a only few quid more so depends how important price alone is.

Really over the top but I’m very tempted by one of these https://www.metmo.co.uk/products/pocket-driver
Just going to chuck this out there - does anyone have an aeropress-compatible grinder they’d be interested in swapping/part-x’ing for a Timemore C2 (the larger-volume one)? Or a grinder that fits the bill that you want to sell? Was thinking particularly the Q grind air, but open to others. Cheers, Danno
