Subbing for interest. More day van stuff than full camper though.

These are great. Leather palms, so a bit of balm/care needed, but good waterproofness and warmth even on frozen mornings. The website has loads of other gloves as well.

Awesome bike. All day comfort and cruiseability! Looks great.

Did he test ride it and never look back?

In keeping with the thread's previous linguistic pedantry, surely just 'hoi polloi', otherwise it's tautological. However, commonly accepted usage etc...bores self to sleep

Usually I avoid the Avon river path in Bristol from November to April as it's a boggy mess, but I took a gamble that it was frozen solid this morning - it nearly all was, even rolled over some frozen puddles without them cracking! Bit bumpy though.

Or Cassetteboy has taken his already impressive skills up a notch.

Great read! Must do some work now...

I did similar, trimming side sections out of a plastic and alloy front guard to fit it through a fork, and eventually it snapped at the place I'd trimmed it (so right underneath the crown). If you can support the front section of it another way, with a stay forward of the fork (mine is now attached to the basket above it it!) or something that might be stronger.

Three years ago Winston quoted me £60 for a disc tab brazed on the top of the seat stay, £20 for a brace betwixt seatstay and chainstay, £20 to remove canti mounts. A respray after that would have been c.£120.

Also had a quote from Caren Hartley of around £100 for the disc tab (so exactly the same without the paint) but neither of them had seen the frame in person so these were estimates to give me an idea.

I didn't go for it in the end but I'm still tempted (with a different frame now!) - maybe one day. Anyway a guide idea of pricing for you.

All very fair points of course. My tongue was in my cheek, some of my best friends wear built in visors etc.

Pick your budget. Don't go for a built-in visor though, just my opinion on looks!

Fabsil is pretty awesome for reproofing jackets (and anything else) - it's intended for tents but works on a lot of fabrics. Buy a bottle, slap it on with a paintbrush (this is actually the recommended application method), dries in a couple of hours, and a nice fresh waterproof finish.

Still a hundred quid for a massive old second hand t shirt. Glws...

The Crystal Palace Library of Things concept is new to me and it makes me very happy. People are great!

This is cool, and excuse my utter ignorance (no frame building or welding knowledge at all), but could you do this instead, putting chainstays in where the blue line is and getting rid of the red-scribbled ones?

If not, do tell me where to go - I'm curious if it could be done or not?

Maybe...lower pressures should help a bit though - more surface area.

Cheers, not for this one I'm afraid but possibly Wales mk2.

Love that. Super unnecessarily accurate. Is that a GIF of some pictures or a mini-video?

Useful, thanks!

So many fantastic bikes in this thread. I picked up a Trek Singletrack 970 frame and fork the other day, need to clean some black, almost rubbery/plastic-like stuff off the paintwork and then it'll be a very slow build over a long time. Don't have any photos to hand, but might start a build thread whenever I get round to it.

This is excellent. No rear rack mounts for the Marin?

Nice.
