What are the equipment regulations? No shoe covers, no trip stuff?

While I was spending the week along the Danish west coast ParcelFarce managed to deliver my @Hulsroy frame. As the Berlingo camper wasn't fully done I had to settle for my moms VW. Really made me miss my old one and I've spent a few nights doing man maths and looking at ads. I need a real van again...

Where can I find some pics of this bike?

Which ones?

I have a massive Wald 157 'Giant Delivery Basket' in the garage as well.

That'd kill the lovely paint :/
But yeah. @Hulsroy said the same thing and I'm slowly coming around to the idea...

Ready to leave the garage...

While I await the re-arrival of my Hulsroy frame, some bits more bits for it showed up. Blackburn Cargo cages and a couple of £5 Altura drybags. Wanted some from Alpkit as they'd match the seat- and bar bag, but these will do while Alpkit restocks.

Hopefully the sun is out tomorrow so I can sort some decent pics for the for sale ad...

Finally finished the NOS Cycle Tech e-stay build.

Spent £20 on the camper project. Now I just need to figure out the mounting system...

If you search for '1000 building blocks' on AliExpress (or Google) they pop up.

Yeah, but since a three legged fork wasn't possible we had to settle for JK instead of my full initials, JKA

Yup, looked a bit dodgy, but didn't see a replay so hard to tell

I'm going in two weeks with my 10 year old son. Not sure who's most excited about it...

Brian Holm said they were

And in JIS related news: I bought a JIS screwdriver.

In slightly more cycling related news the stash sorting continues with the beater for the lady. Got most of the parts fitted, but need to sort a JIS crown race.

A few pics to illustrate how the new seat works and to show off the fancy seat back table.
With the seat folded forward I ended up with 205 cm of floor space. Now I just need to finish the upholstery and make a platform/base to put a mattress on.

Pulled the carpet back, made a few cuts in the floorpan and bolted the new seat base down. It all went together surprisingly easy. The new seat doesn't sit as far back as the old seat in the rearmost position, but it is still useable for tall people with long femurs. I managed to transfer the seat heating to the new seat and I'm almost done reupholstering the new seat with the old fabric which is ugly as sin, but at least it all matches.

The van seat is bolted to the floor and doesn't slide on rails. I'd hoped the van and people carrier versions would have the same floorpan, but unfortunately not. In the end I used the old seat rail on one side and fabbed some bracket between the rail and new seat base. Had some 5 mm steel that was the perfect thickness as a spacer and bracket. Some drilling, grinding and tapping later I was almost ready to bolt the new seat in.

Not very cycling related content coming up:
I've got a Citroën Berlingo which I've wanted to convert to a sort of micro adventure vehicle. No kitchen, cupboards or similar, but just space to put a mattress and a bike. Pushing the passenger seat forward only gave me around 185 cm of sleeping space, which is at least 10 cm to little. Bought a passenger seat from a Peugeot Partner as they fold all the way forward and that would hopefully give me around 210 cm from the hatch to the back of the folded seat.
Started out taking out the old seat and test fitting the new one.
