Wow, those lit tunnels look amazing - I'd never heard of them before!

And thanks, I too lived there in a previous life. Spent 10 of my 24 years in Bath so this is somewhat of a pilgrimage :)

@branwen @richardshill nice one - cheers!

damn - in 1 day?!

But thanks a lot for this, very useful :)

How was the ride, looks like mainly minor roads?

And which tunnels are you talking about into Bath?

cheers mate! Great to hear that someone else on here has done it and that it was good!

I'll definitely do it wild camping one day and all the way to Bristol. And the water taps are a welcome bonus too :)

Thanks

Cheers both

@branwen Yep, I'll be spending a night in Fullers pub in Reading. There's 4 of us cycling so fingers crossed there aren't too many peds!

@richardshill How muddy are we talking? We'll all be on retro rigid MTBs for what it's worth...

Hopefully, the weather holds up and it doesn't snow again!

Greetings fellow travellers,

I'm cycling from London (Chiswick) to Bath over the Easter weekend and wondered if anyone else has done the journey before...

I'm planning on keeping it strictly to the waterways if possible. So the Thames Path all the way to Reading where I'll join the Kennet and Avon Canal which will take me all the way to Bath.

Any tips/advice/suggestions?

Cheers!

Since it's all setup nicely atm I'll be giving first option on the rack and bag to whoever is interested in the bike as a whole.

If/when the bike goes and the rack is not taken, I'll open it up to everyone else...

some more...

Photos...

Please notice, there is some slight scuffing to right hand shifter (when I bought the shifters, the marks were already there). This bike has never been crashed, let me assure you :)

PS. The brooks is not included in the sale - I will supply a nice alternative though...

I'll try to get some up tonight - alternatively, you're more than welcome to view it in Brockley...

Would love to see the photos!

yeh that's sick - I'd buy one (if i didn't already own the carra equivalent)

yeh I like this - it's pretty rad, GLWS

Makes me think of this:

Yep, 22 is the seat tube. Not sure about the others measurements. I imagine they’re online on retrobike or somewhere similar.

Now splitting...

‘98 GT Palomar Frame (22”) - £35
Thorn Raven Forks - £70
Cane Creek Headset (1 1/8th) - £25

I work in shoreditch, and live in brockley

25.4 and 600mm wise.

They have a lil bit of zig zag scratching under one side, this will be completely covered by the grips though...

Potentially interested if you ever venture further south?

Cheers mate!

Brooks and black seat post arrived today, bar tape too :)

I can't even begin to describe how fun this bike is to ride!

so sick!

haha ain't that the truth
