That bag doesn't have an x-strap.

Yes it does, numpty.

James, that's pretty much what I'm talking about. That would do fine in a tupperware container. Depending on how it allows the humidity out of the tube, you might consider using some kind of barrier between it and your cigars. When you first fill them up they can tend to spill water out for a bit. You don't want to get your cigars wet.

Excellent, yeah I figure I can glue a small bit of wood or plastic into the container where that can sit that is raised a bit to provide a barrier, glue it and then seal it around the edges, sorted!
Already have some decent tuppleware containers at home too, nice and cheap, excellent.

@ Dale or anyone else here, ever smoked the Siglo VI, if so how does it compare to the II ?

Apparently Koens frame IS a 58cm equivalent, feels smaller than my 56 did to me but whadda I know eh!

a 46cm frame is perfect for a 6'1 person, maybe 6'2 (56-57cm equation), so a 50cm fit someone who's very tall, the top tube length is pretty long.

I've ridden it thanks Ed, and it felt a lot smaller than my 56 (centre to top) Volume cutter frame I used to have, so I would personally say it is smaller than a 56 equivalent, by far, and no doubt Khy would agree, having also ridden my Volume.

I UTFS and trawled the internet and there's quite a few courier/messenger bags i like the look of but they don't come with a x-strap which is going to be a pain in the ass if it keeps slipping round whilst riding.

Any suggestions for a reasonably priced bag (<£50?) that has a x-strap. Alternatively is it worth trying to add a x-strap to one of the bags i have my eye on?

You're taking about a stabilizer strap, an x strap is a stabilizer strap + an additional strap that goes over the top of your other shoulder, like this:

There are very few "cheap" bags that come with a full x strap, its normally a feature of higher end "professional quality" bags, but many come with a stabilizer strap.

What does the 50cm frame size equate to in road/track frame size? I normally ride a 56 road frame.

I think it equates to around a 54cm if I is not mistaken.

In that case, you win...I give up :)

and some pretty reasonably priced Csonkas here:

Nice reasonably priced humidor I found here:

I have forwarded this message to Chris.

I have forwarded this message and your home address to Chris.

I jest, Chris is up there as one of the gods of trials as far as I am concerned, along with Martin and Martyn.

That Macaskill bloke is not bad though eh?

You're doing a fashion shoot with one flash, and no modifiers?

You want to buy yourself an umbrella or two at a minimum if you want anything portfolio worthy to come out of your shots, i'd be amazed if you could do anything useful with one hotshoe based flash on its own, with absolutely no modifiers or reflectors.

I'm not sure if the Siglo II comes in tubes, to my knowledge I've never seen one. I might be wrong.

Originally I was going to get a regular box of Siglo II but in the end went for a 5x5 since they were being split up. I'll be getting 5 cardboard boxes of 5 Siglo IIs each in individual boxes. It's similar to what you see at Airport duty free. It will make it easier for people to carry and store their fiver that way. I also like them in the boxes for when I travel as they're more protected.

I bought an individual one the other night in a tube, quite a nice tube it was too, don't know what they come in with the large quantities though?
The flavour as you get down to the last bit is awesome, I did wince a bit after paying slightly over double what its costing me through dale, but it was worth it, it was so nice, especially with the 10 year old Macallen Whisky we had just aftewards.
I shared a bit with a mate also, who's only cigar experience is some crappy thing he bought in a news agent once....
He said the cigarette afterwards tasted so shit in comparison, he's pretty much gonna give them up in favour of the occasional cigar instead haha, and since he's gonna be moving in with us soon we are gonna share the cost of cigar storage, its a win win situation :)

Scrap that.....that Macaskill bloke is better ;)

I want Chris Akriggs babies.

That's not actually true- very handy off road in combination with small sideways/rotational hops to line yourself up before attempting a big drop/tricky descent etc.

On the road it just helps you get going faster/

Indeed, for mtb trials riders, life is pretty much just one continuous trackstand....just in different positions :p

Apparently Murtle bought it and is putting a Spok on the rear and HED3 up front.....apparently.

Its on the 3rd

It's newer than the old version. But James is right, it's not the 23, 25c Rando' we're waiting for.

:P

Ergo, a new model/version of an existing tyre, not a new tyre....pedant.

;)

^ Pretty much my life played back in a video montage!

HAHAHAHAHA:

YouTube- Worst Face Plant's Ever. Amazing Face! The Montage of Epic Faceplants

Love it.

Far from a new tyre, its just a new version of the previous Randonneur Hyper tyre....widely available AFAIK.

I might do if someone offers me money.

Apart from that, nope. I have a new job with a 45 mile commute; my midweek drinking days are over.

Whoa thats a pretty immense commute, I guess getting hammered mid-week must be low on the list of priorites now, hows the bike collection coming along?

Would love a few of these if I still played Vinyl, you gonna come back to SouthEasties sometime Rosie? Or do you still hate us all :(
