Awesome bike

This is great

My initial thoughts are some sort of secure shed with a few Sheffield stands or ground anchors.

I imagine anything worth having is probably more than anyone's willing to spend

I think you've probably got it in these two sentences! Maybe just a sloped roof so they're dry, rather than a full shed? And then ALL the ground anchors and the biggest, baddest motorbike chains etc. you can get.

Possibly wall mounted hooks if space is an issue, for normal bikes at least if not the cargo. With ground anchors suitably placed in the wall for those hanging bikes

Any idea if these can be tubeless? Couldn't see on the Continental website

Really enjoyed it as a neutral

I've just read this - lovely. Any idea if a book was actually published by either the old man or the couple narrating? Could be a fantastic winter read.

Just been through the whole thread again - an excellent read and great pictures. There's something so satisfying about arriving in a new place under your own steam, which I guess is similar between cycling and sailing (using outboard also counts - I'm talking about no cars/planes etc). The whole adventure looks so good, and there's also a serious amount of elbow grease in all the maintenance work. Impressive.

Probably obvious question - do you have to present yourself to the douanes or someone with your passport when you arrive in France having crossed the Channel from the UK? How do they check/know who's coming and going?!

Looks like you are somewhere dryish, but will you add flaps to the mudguards? Said it before, but this is a great looking bike.

Love the variety of foot rests which I presume are for when you're spinning out downhill

Looks like a tasty selection

OG V2s please, can collect from Bristol. I've been to yours before to hand over some tyres and bits anyway! Cheers

Bar mitts à la Deliveroo moped rider. They eliminate wind chill in a way that gloves just can't, and create a little pocket of warm air inside. I usually don't even wear gloves with them, down to Very Cold Degrees

Not sure about the guy on the right's hat

Surely with some kind of lazy Susan arrangement underneath

I am also fine with my home looking like it is actually lived in, so shoes on display doesn't bother me!

Shots fired

Genuine question - what's so ugly about Hope headsets?! Is it the slightly square edges vs. the roundness of the Kings? In an anodised colour with their etched logos they look much the same to me. I don't really have much of an aesthetic eye though.

Although I do appreciate your new frame and pretty much all of Hulsroy's fine work

Excellent bike

Gaaahhhhh 😭

An old duvet cover?

Think about socket locations, then add a couple more. Light switches and ceiling light positions - double check where they will be in relation to finished cupboards/doorways (which way will the door open?)

Likewise power for appliances (oven is not just a normal socket etc.) and water in/drainage out for dishwasher etc. A fancy fridge with water thing which needs plumbing in...? i.e. just allow for possibilities - this is the absolute best time to put holes and chases in things before floors and walls get finished.

Enjoying the excellent write ups and your take on our little island!

Have you cross-referenced, analysed and digested all that this has to offer...?

Amazing amount of work - do you do most/all of it yourself? We need photos!

Ibis Temple Meads? Technically just across the water from Temple Meads but 5 mins walk from Old Market
