Thanks. Suspect it'll be a bit too expensive for me. Leaning towards a larger 1 man tent rather than bivvy now.

Bugger. Oh well.

Cheers

Synthetic. One of these:

About the only thing I could find in a decent size.

Thanks.

Nah thats great. 4" isn't a great deal (obligatory 'thats what she said'). I'll order one, see if it arrives. Can always return.

I agree, this is my intention, just want to get something I can fit into.

Can I ask about internal sizing? Is 225 accurate or with the tapering of the sides am I better off going with something bigger? I suspect the usable space is closer to >200cm long.

Thanks @jgadd

In addition:
Recommendations welcomed for a bivvy bag - hoping to leave the tent at home given it weighs 3.5kg - plus only got single night trips planned. Needs to fit me (6'6"). Something like this seems ok. But then this is cheaper and slightly longer. But will it just turn me into a boil in the bag sweaty mess?

Alternatively this seems like a mega bargain. All the other listings of this are around £100+ Not sure its long enough though. 225cm long with pointy ends suggests I'd be getting a wet head or feet.

Also sleeping bag liners seem like a good idea. Should I get one?

Potentially only using these things for less than 5 nights/year. Possibly less.

Would you recommend that sleeping mat?

Need to order one myself. Just been looking at these in Decathlon.

Was kinda hoping to spend less given how little I'll use it. But the self inflating ones seemed pretty shit and a foam mat is too bulky.

Badass

Is there a map of public bicycle tool stations in London?

I found the cycle hoop one but its mostly pumps:
https://www.cyclehoop.com/pumps/

From what I'm aware there are other companies that have toolstations (for example the Clapham Junction one isn't listed).

I just need to adjust my saddle height on the way home. No great drama if not. It'd just be handy.

Normally carry a multi-tool but just plain forgot.

I love this bike everytime I see it.

I'm sure its been asked but is that a Nitto Tallux stem?

Also where did you get such wide mudgauards?

A person in the car can see if you're having to negotiate a junction or similar and pause, hence why conversations in cars can be quite stop start. A person on the phone cannot. Hence drivers on hands free will attempt to keep the conversation flowing more freely and become more distracted. Or will have one of their senses in use when they may need to be using it for driving.

Are they nearly new?

I'd want to see a close up of the braking surface.

Really nice

Steel fork? I had this. No matter what I did nothing would fix it. Fitted one of these in the end and it was fine.

£125 Klein misplaced in amongst the tools section.

Ends tomorrow. No bids.

Was it cheaper with postage?

I bought the 700c version. Rim isn't great but I intend to use it before replacing. Unfortunately I've not used it yet (its summer) and just got an SP wheel. But it seemed like such a bargain it'd be daft not to have one in 'stock'. Will stick it on a beater or something one day.

Cheaper than the same hub on its own from lots of places.

Apologies if its been asked but what are those bars?

I used to love going to York Rally as a kid. Not been in ages. What a bargain.

Bike looks great.

Do your front brake bosses not unscrew? Would clean up the look of the bike a bit.

Can't see the flat sides in your pic.

God you're right. My bad. It looked like it had 2 holes on the bracket near the BB. I guess the derailieur hanger wasn't a big enough clue for me that there should've been a cable along the chainstay. Back to bed for me.

That comes with a spare spoke carrier on the chainstay? Rad.

Can you get spares though? I need the cog part of a ratchet for a set I have (don't remember if right or left). Last I checked you couldn't.
