Sorry, that's not ringing any bells.

If you can see a gap, air will be coming through; use foam tape or something to block it up?

Those Petit Porteurs remind me of the Donky (http://donkybike.com), albeit better looking and with a more sensible frame design. Wonder how they ride fully loaded.

I remember that book ^^ being helpful when I inherited the document pile of doom at my old job.

What kind of stuff was it you were looking for?

the owner has basically bought their entire stock from Wiggle and doubled the price, they can do one.

Isn't this what all shops do, except in this case LBSes can get cheaper stock from Wiggle than they can from the distributor?

Anyhow, yes, a lot of cyclists are quite tight - whether that's because of its origins as a working-class recreation, certainly trad cycling culture inculcated self-reliance as a virtue, and a certain degree of thrift comes along with that. If a lot of the market has been buoyed up by the whole New Golf/BC Success Machine that is now receding, then surviving on the hard core of cyclists that do most of their own maintenance and buy mainly consumables (perhaps a new bike every decade) is going to be a problem.

New Everest is £330 - good call! Now just hope that the 36mm looks good and is similar...

Lemon curd also very good on toasted hot cross buns.

Nice; what's the saddlebag support?

Just idly wondering, really! St Jan always claims that e.g. Honjo guards are lighter than Chromoplastics, partly because the stays are lighter, but the aluminium Brompton guards I've seen mostly reuse the stock stays - Ti ones would help, I guess! At 6'5" and over 15 stone, weight-weenieism is always going to be the most marginal of gains for me...

Are the custom aluminium guards that you can get any lighter than the standard ones?

Trispoks would be sillier, but those are radder IMO - were they built up from parts, or bought complete?

Those are awesomely silly wheels; are they lighter/faster than stock? (Not that their radness is affected by such pettyfoggingly prosaic metrics...)

Ah, right - I'd not realised they were Miyota-based. Starting with a 3 would make the purchase much easier to justify; fingers crossed!

Nah, undercarriage clearance would be a problem, and IIRC the 747 is already stressed to carry a pylon on the wing there - it's usually used to carry a spare engine between maintenance sites.

The new PRS-29A is just over £400 isn't it? That's without a bracelet, so I'd have thought the Everests would be around the £400-450 mark.

Oof; just hope the 36mm looks half as good!

Tool watch/utility bike.

The lid helps cut down on heat loss, and so it's probably a bit warmer than a normal ceramic mug, but not by that much. I prefer non-insulated mugs tbh, as I always manage to burn my mouth taking an unguarded sip from insulated containers.

Nice - what's the patch on the Carradice?

I wouldn't want to rely on that, mind - cargo bikes were occasionally nicked in Cambridge when I lived there, and I've seen the odd theft report from London's famous London too. Where I think you're probably safer is that a cargo bike's a bit long and heavy to chuck in the back of a van, especially if the back wheel's immobilised with a frame lock. I use a BFO chain and the frame lock, which has worked so far.

Ta; looking on the website you might manage with the Pro, as it's a bit taller, but it's not really meant for that. Still, I make enough pizza I'd probably get the full use of the regular one...

That pizza does look amazing; do you reckon you could do bread in there as well?

Very nice! Who makes the Rohloff Ti triangle - is that a kinetics thing?

Hideous tri-bars redeemed by the awesome Karrimor luggage...

On the product page it claims to be; only 800 fill, mind, but still seems decent value.
