Unlike you to be too slim

I’ve got around about nothing to add to this thread* other than I’ve been loving my gravel bike for the past 2/3months whilst waiting for my new mtb to arrive.

*and a needless photo or two of my bike that is fucking great!

Yeah, the families 3 whippets used to seek any Fox shit out and apply it like No.5 and found out about it about 30 years ago.

Recently used it again on 2 Springers, the amount that longer hair can hold 🤢

Doesn’t completely get rid of the smell but is definitely better

Don rubber gloves and rub it in for better results

Hose worst of it off, then cover the remaining in tomato ketchup, then wash off for best results

I’ll sniff you out, still opening at 9am during these times?

I didn’t know about you. There’s a fair chance I’ll come over and see you on Monday if you’re open?

Disappointed for Newport County last night was hoping for another giant killing run but Brighton spived it after extra time and penalties.

Not only do I think this’ll look spectacular but if I was to ever see it driving around or parked up it would bring me a lot of joy.

I also find with modern geometry meaning low BB, stiffer soles give your toes/feet some protection when you inevitably kick a rock/root

Aren’t 126s like Bromptons, allowed on trains?

I’m 46 in road and mtb clipless shoes (Sidi, Fizik, NorthWave, Shimano).

Size 11 / 46 Five Tens fit me perfectly

This is going to look rather spectacular

I’d be interested in these

BB7s are not an upgrade imo.
You’d be far better off getting hydraulic

Had pairs of 5 tens and currently using the Specialized 2FOs

Really impressed with them. Not for winter though as they’re very vented.

Go and check 5 tens out before you buy if you can though as some come with stiff soles and others don’t.
Stiff soles for the win!

What’s you brake budget?

If you’re not wanting to spend vast amounts and want new I’d suggest Deore or SLX.
Good performance, easy to bleed

Heard yesterday that my Cotic Bfe Max that I ordered last August and was meant to be with me beginning of December will be landing at the the end of Jan so I should see it around Valentine’s Day ❤️

I’ve got a 130mm blk mtb stem, I believe from memory that it’s 1” and in pretty good shape.

I’ll check tomorrow when it’s not throwing it down with rain.

Thank you, I’m mighty happy with it; perfect fit and exceptionally capable. A lot of fun.

It’s a Norco XR frame I’m running 650b wheels

In fact it was the replacement for the carbon cyclocross bike I bought off you

No worries, think they’ll look good against your Ti frame too.
If you’re tubeless make sure that you get the tnt version.

Think they’re pretty handsome on my gravel bike too.

Thoroughly recommend Vittoria Mezcal tyre for winter gravel duties.
Got some a few weeks ago and I’m very happy with their performance

Good amount of central tread for hard pack/tarmac rolling and good amount of nobbly tread and shoulder grip for when things get muddier.

I think those Citroens are pretty well liked.

I think I’d like to do a journey of over an hour or so in one. Can’t help but think they’ll be noisy and rattle.

If I was looking for something to achieve what you’re after I’d take a look at Honda FRVs

Have you ever used EQC in Cardiff?

They’re the company who paint Bromptons or certainly use to.

Who do you use in/near Bristol?

I’ve got a 853 frame that needs a new coat.
