Just take the front brake lever off the handlebar, then you can remove the fork as far away from the bike as you like, no hose routing gets harmed...?

In answer to question 3 - a bag of packers and a winbag will make your life a lot easier when positioning, adjusting and finally hanging the doors.

And then that bag of packers will last you the rest of your life for other odd jobs.

Qu. 1) - don't cut off more than ~15mm on any one edge, as you can start cutting into the joints of the rails & stiles. I can't see your full table of numbers but it looks like you're only shaving edges, not taking hunks off. And divide the total amount to remove by two, and take it off both sides, to reduce them evenly.

Also never assume that your doorframes and floor are square - they probably aren't.

2) I'd think softwood would be fine, seeing as they're pine doors. Matching the grain - depends if they'll be painted or not. If you're leaving them bare/oiled/varnished (definitely give them some kind of finish) it will be very hard to get it bang on, but once you've glued the new stuff on and planed it down etc, you could give it a light stain so that colour differences in the two timbers don't attract attention.

Bike looks awesome

Dynamo lighting is awesome

Beer can seatpost shims are awesome (and very satisfying eliminating slippage).

For that gentle caffeine nudge to get you going

success

Much success, very good work

that fkn rips

Hopefully not the bags...

Such a cool bike and set-up.

Potato po-tar-to

Hopefully all the jurors' identities are kept out of the wrong hands

Haha beaten to it. Staggering.

Hot stuff. And use of ChatGPT to calculate chemical business - wow 🤯

Very good

This looks like a great bike. Any more pics/info?

Yup, likely to be passable on foot/bicycle, via snowmelt tunnel depending how the temps have been up there. The closure is for vehicles I think. If it's absolutely impassable you could go through the tunnel to continue a route, although obviously that wouldn't tick the Galibier summit box!

Congrats on making it happen - sure it is worth it!

Which bit of Provence are you in, and how easy or otherwise was it to make this dream happen..?!

A nice dark wood, definitely not white, but possibly black

Ha - brilliant! Nicely done

Lovely guards. Did the sticker come with them?

Impressive fixing

Nice, an adventure ride with a goal!

that puddle is much deeper than it looks

I'm failing to insert the Danny Mackaskill Wee Day Out puddle gif

That's an amazing AQA result. The forum provides.

Very nice pub bike indeed.

Ah the Bike Project is pretty close to you then - again no idea of lead times though

Not sure about booking times etc. but Ryan can do that for you, or the Bristol Bike Project. Where in Bristol are you?
