Sounds like a great trip.....If your still working out the best way to take a bike on eurostar I have found the best way is to use something like this
http://www.probikekit.com/uk/accessories/luggage-transport/bike-transportation/scicon-pocket-bike-bag.htm

Then all you do is take the wheels off carry it on (gets treated as if you had a suitcase) then you pack it with the luggage at the end of your carrige. Just put the wheels back on the other side job done and the bag weights pretty much nothing.

Both are great cities but I would say Stockholm is more of a honeymoon destination....more picturesque...in a week you can do both...the trains between the two are very good with Malmo a worthwhile stop off between the two.

CLASSICO for the discount code....

I think it would a shame to respray even with the damage such nice frames......so I vote lived in look. Maybe the respray shop can do touch up/restoration without having to do a complete job?

I've got Campag Veloce and Khamasins.....which I got from Ribble. I'd say that deal they have at the moment is a good one to take advantage of.

Khamasins are pretty heavy but seem very strong so reckon they are what you are looking for.

Veloce is a decent groupset and if you can get it for £250 that's a bargain. I've got two of them.

You can usually pick up saddles, stems, seatposts on here pretty cheap. (I've got some spare so if you're interested PM me).

Did London to Paris in 24 hours last year top tips:

Lights -you will need proper ones I would recommend exposure and be prepared to spend on them. I didn't but should have.
Food - eat lots of it. Boulangeries in France start working very early so worth seeing if you can get an early morning croissant even if it seems closed.
Route - if you go newhaven dieppe, there is one road which takes you 90pc of the way

The French side is pretty flat so if you cando your route on the uk side you'll be fine single speed.

Oh and take lots of inner tubes. Expect the unexpected.

Yep using a handheld speed gun.....and I can verify it was correct from my garmin. I overtook a couple of cars while about half a kilometer away and thought it would be too far away so carried on overtaking....it wasn't.

Max £200 fine 2nd time apparently.

Careful in Richmond Park.....got a warning from police on speeding 32 in a 20....apparently its one of the only places in the country where its offence, on normal roads bikes can go any speed they want. Last week I got stopped for doing 20mph which was blocking the traffic.

Since you have paid the money to the account requested by james, irrespective of whether these are correct, my view is that it is James responsibility to send you the items and for him to attempt to get the money back from the account......

If he doesn't send you the items in my view it's clearly a scam.

Thanks...persevered with ridewithgps and got it working....surprising what reading the instructions can achieve!

Top effort especially at this time of year.

Just bit the bullet and got a Garmin 800....seems good so far just trying to work out the best places to get routes downloaded. Any tips?

Ride with GPS seems good but don't really want to subscibe
Garmin Connect seems to work well for planning a route but doesn't seem to work properly for searching routes.

Any suggestions?

Thanks

Dibs please! Will send a pm now

Seriously nice and great price not my size but good luck with the sale!

Almost got taken out today by an ambulance doing 50mph+ on the wrong side of the road....messed up my 3lap challenge time as well.

They are good and worth the money....last time I checked probikekit had the best online price then get evans to price match them

Thanks for the answers but too much effort....

Question....how do you post images? it's asking for a URL whatever that is and won't let me just copy the image across...

Frame bought up of here, thanks to Ghah....built up as a commuter (with cheap wheels) but it was so nice to ride thought I'd put my best wheels on it....thinking it may stay that way!

Saddle for sale?

I've been to Nairobi and would not recommend driving there let alone cycling....bad roads, terrible traffic and dangerous driving....

Amazing part of the world in general though.

Dibs!! Just pming

Would be from Richmond although I have looked at a few other options as well, from Birmingham may be easier/less urban riding. Looking forward to hear how you get on round there should be a great place to ride.

Top work! Has almost inspired me to ride to Aberystwyth in a day.....were you happy with the route you took? Anything you would change if you were to do it again?

Dibs the SPDs pending picture....
