Well, what a co-incidence.

I've got one of these on order, in fluro yellow as well.

Frame should arrive this week.

First new bike for 10 years!

Have gone with the standard Kinesis build kit for the moment, including cable Spyres. (Prefer cable having had lots of buggering about with previous hyd brakes).

There is a bit in a another thread Gravel ( Gnarmac ) Bikes, post #1218.

I'm gonna check for this and run a tap in each thread etc.

Can't really answer your question about rims as I've gone with the std build kit.

Tyres. I'm planning on fitting Panaracer Gravel King to start with, but open to change over time, possibly then the SK variant. Tubed to start, but again over time will upgrade to tubeless.

I have a more general question about chain lube though. Currently using a WD40 product, but always seems to stay 'wet' and so collects crud all the time.

Any recommendation for a 'dry' type lube?

Use a 'slim' stem to suit the frame please.

eg. Cinelli.

Now that is a beaut.

Thinning out the fleet a little.

Killer headwind Acle to South Walsham. Temperature low 20's, just right for cycling.

Nothing of note in this ride really, no intervention from the cops, no hitting potholes (lots of them but steered around)

Been looking at this as a birthday present to myself:

This German dealer came recommended.

I'm told Orient are part of Seiko?

Anybody got any comments/feedback on Orient please.

Is the first photograph taken at the Western end of Westbrook Bay, just before you get to the large car park?

All of this.

Look at the Tweed Run. The first 2 or 3 runs were just gatherings, the first 2 without organisation, and were in the right spirit.
Then came organisation, then corporate and tickets appeared, then having to get on line to get the ticket.
Quickly lost its appeal, and I have not been back since 2011.

The DD should remain in its current format, simply just a night ride to the coast.
