😂 you guys are painting the bike I was asking about this for!

I see...

Miner's sold now.

This is starting to sound really like something out of Robert Macfarlane's The Old Ways. I swear he has a friend on the islands who's a shaman/artist that works with drift wood.

Love it.

I've got one I'm looking to shift. Drop me a DM if you're still looking.

Managed to lose my Roam over the weekend. Seems like there might be a Roam 2 in the works. Anyone heard anything concrete?

Yeah that's fair! Definitely wouldn't want to have to think too much at 4:30am.

We just stayed at a fair bog standard airbnb. Your place looks bloody lovely!

Well, that's rather tasty. Enjoy it!

Here's the route I did a couple of years with a group of mates, it is a road route, but it does include the avenue vert from Dieppe: https://www.komoot.com/collection/1625109/-london-to-paris-route

My two cents on that section though if you'll indulge me - it's great infrastructure, but isn't gravel and I have to say, I thought it was really boring. 45km of pretty much dead flat stuff with banking on either side most of the way, so no views. Could have been the fact it pissed down the whole way along it though...

Ah damn! Yeah lovely bike. I'm probably looking to shift a Midnight Special frame in a 56 fairly soon, but sounds like that wouldn't be any good either.

There's a 55cm Velo Orange Pass Hunter up for grabs in the complete/frameset classifieds that would do the job if it's the right size?

Sorry, amended listing - it's size large - I'm 5ft 11in and it suits me well. Would probably work for a few inches either way.

Price drop to £600

Thanks. Got them on the Pack Rat. Nice, but not quite what I'm after.

Plumped for the Cowchippers instead. If they're no good I'll go back to the PNW bars I've got on the Midnight Special at the moment.

Small bump for newly added items.

650b. Set up.with a SRAM XDr freehub. Believe it's 12 x 142mm.

Bump for new items and price drops.

Pretty much what it says on the tin - I'm looking to sell a Ritchey Commando I picked up in the Merlin sale years ago and have ridden quite a bit, but am not looking to shift for a number of reasons - primarily I don't ride it any more and I have a kid on the way, so need to clear out some room and could do with a bit of cash.

The bike is a ton of fun, I rode the South Downs Way on it in November and really couldn't have thought of a better bike to do it on.

It's got Halo wheels I had built up on it, running Maxxis Mammoths and GX Eagle with absolutely monstrous RS Guide brakes.

Size would be helpful wouldn't it? Large - I'm 5ft 11in and suits me perfectly.

I'm looking for £700 all in? Don't really want to split it, but if it comes down to it I'd consider it. Collection from N3 preferred, but could post at buyers cost.

Hm yeah. I'd forgotten about them. Actually tempted by some Cowchippers, not least because they come in a 52cm, which is what I'm currently riding and love.

I am inclined to agree. I do have a nice set of silver Middleburns and a Nitto S65 seat post that, with a little polishing, would do the job nicely.

Any recommendations for wide, silver drop bars with relatively shallow drops? I've got a set of Venturemaxs on my Riv, but I'm not completely sold on them.

Definite indulgence, but they just seemed to be the fastest and grippiest tyres out there in a size I've come to love.

Waiting to get the frame back from Quintessential. Bit of a back log I believe. Late June to start working on it they said.

In the mean time I've been resisting buying new components and debating what to do for a finishing kit - stick with all black from my Midnight Special or possibly go silver and steal bits from the Pack Rat that I bought from crow.

I have bought some new rubber though (650b Umtanum Ridges) and am leaning towards all black with Campandgoslow eastern rattle and maybe a mud green Brooks C17.

Decisions decisions.

You're also not allowed to bump unless you drop the price...

.

Yeah that doesn't sound much fun to me. Fair play to him though.

I've got a couple of these, which I rate https://www.sportpursuit.com/catalog/product/view/id/1980526
