Agreed, excellent posting. What is going on with the hog's back? Appears to have a dedicated tea towel and beer can holder on the top tube...

Capacity for about 15 litres of liquids but only a basket for solids - use case: short day rides into the heart of the desert?

No idea where the new tag is but i love it

I think the Surly Preamble hits all your criteria if you're looking for new not second hand

disc brakes but quick release drop-outs and 135mm rear spacing, rack and mudguard mounts, maybe more traditional geometry rather than sloping top tube, 1 1/8 non-tapered steerer forks. It'll mainly be used for touring, but I'd like it to not be an absolute tank

Didn't tonnes of bikes used to fit this description? My Pass Hunter does. Now they'll all be Thru Axle, tapered, flat mount, etc etc. So second hand for sure.

Nice crisp day for a tag run @joshturnip

You know

Do you mean tender geraniums, which are properly called pelargoniums? They will I would have thought not be for sale until a bit later as they are killed by frosts.

Hardy geraniums can be found but again at this time of year will either be bare root or cut back with nothing showing above the soil, so garden centres unlikely to have them on display yet.

Can recommend planting bare roots - always had good results for me, and much cheaper

You should sow erigeron into gravel

I think you're right. Sad

Anyone know if these tyres are tubeless ready or not? Selection box says yes, description at the bottom says no... which do I trust

Because why wouldn't you use a thumbie or a trigger? On a drop bar, having the shifters on the bars either dictates the levers for you or you have bar-ends and jab yourself in the knee all the time. But on a flat bar you have better options. Especially when there's another thumbie already. Each to their own though

V nice and v ... idiosyncratic

Not sure I understand a downtube shifter on a flat bar bike but you do you!

Polls approaching extinction-event levels

This would mean less than 50 Tory MPs

I'd like the RS8 x types please. PMed

It's by Bristol's most famous rattle can enthusiast

My mum used to do this with bricks in the garage

But also

For goals of cover fences, provide for wildlife, and provide some year round interest - you would be hard pressed to beat a mixed native hedge on all sides

Maybe look up James Hitchmough and shamelessly steal ideas

I don't think you can realistically grow a wildflower meadow in one single bed and make it look good.

Instead, you could plant ornamental grasses and, if it gets enough sun, mix them in with verbena bonariensis, prairie perennials like your echinacea, and annuals like poppies, cornflowers or cosmos. That way you might achieve a sort-of-naturalistic look.

You wouldn't need a new derailleur I don't think, just cassette and chain, but fair enough

Surely worth upgrading for

In my mind there’s some sort of plans out there for a brick/ammo tin wood oven that could do pizza but with a hot plate on top etc

Try searching for asado ? Something like this is potentially self build able if you're handy?

Dibs cranks if you'd split!

Or if you really want hand made from junk - 3 sticks and a plastic bag can do the pot bit

Couldn't a big casserole do all of that? 'Dutch oven' and all. Stick on BBQ. Or hang over a fire
