Subbed. Very much looking forward to this build.

Ordered an Evasion Lite and hoping a friend will do similar with shipping for me.

The Lightning Bolt and/or Evasion paint jobs are so much nicer than the Lite. Hate the pastel palate.

And I'm looking to sell my 56cm one if that helps...

Can anybody point me in the direction of a respray place that can preserve decals while doing it?

Bought a bike frame in a colour I hate, but that doesn't come in another colour and they don't sell replacement decals.

Could get a replacement set made up custom I suppose, but wondered if this was an option first.

Price drop on the frameset. £400.

And photos of the frameset here

Notes on the dibs.

More pictures of the wheels here.

Rear one is ambrosio something. Seem to have picked it up from eBay. Front one is the advertised DT Swiss.

I'm looking to shift a size 54cm black Cross Check. 700c compatible and currently built up like this:

I gambled a couple of years ago on a 54cm Cross Check, as I'm somewhere between 54 and 56 for Surlys, but it has not paid off. As such, I've got a 54cm Cross Check I'm looking to sell. There are a few other bits I'm looking to shift too.

Frame - 54cm black - £450 fair? It's a new frame from 2020
Wheels - need to double check the rear. The front is definitely a DT Swiss R460 with SP PV-8 dynamo hub. Rim brake, set up tubeless with Teravail Cannonball (700 x 42). £250 the set?
Handlebars - Nitto Jitensha. £20
Honjo - hammered, fluted mudguards (700 x 48). £80

Probably various other small bits like cranks, stem and seat post I could be persuaded to part with, but not anything from the drive train, brakes or saddle.

All in working order and really not been ridden that much! More photos soon.

Currently built up like this:

Floating it on here first for fellow Surly lovers.

I've recently acquired @crow's lovely Pack Rat frame in order to replace a slightly too small Cross Check.

So, I'm looking to shift a size 54cm black Cross Check. 700c compatible and currently built up like this:

It's true, I did! Likewise, great to meet you.

It's a bloody beautiful frame. @crow has done a wonderful job looking after it. I'm hoping to do it justice.

650b is the dream.

I'll take these please. PM incoming.

I've got a spare set of 650b wheels lying around just crying out for a frame like this. Otherwise I would! Bloody love Pacentis.

I absolutely shouldn't do this, but I've got a Cross Check that's too small for me and this would be the perfect replacement.

Dibs on the frame, stem and handlebars. Love the mudguards if you're willing to include them. PM incoming.

Oof that's a clear out and a half. Dibs on the Middleburns please

😂 thanks! @Elra DM incoming

I'll take the tote if seager doesn't.

This is an interesting idea... Other priorities for bikes first, but if the option for another Riv comes up, I might have to consider it.

It does very slightly, but not enough for me to want to replace them. The design outweighs it for me. Plus, with the bottles in them, I don't see them that much.

I did weigh up attempting to strip the anodysing from them, but I'm both lacking in the skills and interest to do it really.

Happy to have inspired you though! They are a lovely touch.

I'm very much in the latter camp, but also can't be arsed to remove them really. I'll stick with them for now. I'm sure it'll rain enough that I'll want them!

Been out more recently on the Riv. Made a decent stab of getting to Bognor on Saturday, but was defeated by a more off road section than anticipated coming off the back of Bignor Down. Fortunately I was close enough to my destination not to have to faff with puncture repair!

Few photos from earlier in the day, some from Hammersmith, Surrey Hills and NCN 22.

Absolutely beautiful day for a ride. Do wish I'd taken the mudguards off, but hey ho.

Wouldn't go that far, but the build quality, particularly of the zip and hood 'fastener' isn't good enough for the price tag in my opinion.

Jumping on this dredge, don't suppose user127304 is still around and fancies reporting on how they got on with the 11 speed shifters and the Deore/shiftmate combination?

I can manage with my current setup, but would really like a little more range and Athena silver medium or long cage rear derailleurs seem to either be entirely mythical or rarer than hen's teeth.

Undibs. Stem not seat post.

Dibs on the Nitto seat post if still available

Cheers for the pointer. Forgot about the new section out to the Isle of Grain that's opened. Might have to try that instead.

Is that following the Thames path? Have you got a route?

Was toying with doing both sides of the Thames path on Sunday, but thay might be better.
