£2.99, a plastic notebook cover, a pair of scissors and 20 minutes later. This bike is getting uglier by the day.

Desperately needed flaps on my new bike. State of that downtube.

Crumpet is usually gone for 3 or 4 hours when she's with Mel so hourly it's not bad at all. It does add up though!

Crumpet goes out with "Mel's Wonder Walks" and she's brilliant. Really mindful of each dog's needs and personalities and bends over backwards to pair each dog up with other dogs that will all get on. I'm actually not sure if she covers where you are (you might be just outside her area) but worth a look!

I'm on the 4th book of the Expanse series at the moment. Absolute trash but really easy to blast through. I'm off work with a stinking cold at the moment and managed to get through 200 pages in a day. Beats sitting around feeling sorry for myself anyway.

Definitely not after porn but this seemed as good a place as any. I'd like to buy a drill for general home pissing about and occasionally bike related pissing about. What should I be looking at?
It doesn't need to be fancy because at most it will maybe be used for putting up some curtains and drilling a hole in a mudguard. I'd also rather not buy something that's going to break as soon as I look at it. I'd rather buy new I think. I'm not tied into any eco systems so that doesn't play a part in the decision.

Gilet now sold

That's a nice easy one to post so it's all yours! I'll DM now.

Unbranded pedals, black. In good shape but nothing particularly special or interesting.
GONE

TracerX security skewers for 135mm QR rear wheel and seat clamp. I've pinched the QR for the front wheel and the unusually shaped key to tighten and loosen the skewers (this is generic though so can get one directly from TracerX)

GONE

Kenda Tyres - 700x40c

Not great tyres but not awful either. Came on an e-bike. In good condition. I'd really rather not post these if possible!

£15>£12>free if you can collect for the pair.

Most bits now gone. Kenda tyres now free. Collection only from SE20, E20 or somewhere in between. Really don't fancy posting them!

Perfect, thanks both!

Out of interest, what is the rack? And do the panniers mount to the lower rail or the platform? I'm after something similar (when funds allow in the new year).

Two days ago I was driven to an event in a Rolls Royce

Don't suppose anyone has a more modern, padded Flite that I could try out for a little bit do they? If not, is something like this going to be a similar shape to a classic Flite but with a bit more squish and a cutout? Obviously it's minging but a softer classic Flite sounds ideal for this use case and the bike is a total dog anyway.

I'm really excited to see it (hopefully this weekend). I love everything else Sean Baker has done.

@owl, just a thought. Has Owen got any mates that you could walk with if you think you're at risk of running into Barry? They might stick up for him a bit and give him a confidence boost. I guess it'd be tricky to find the right dog that would be assertive rather than aggressive but a telling off might dissuade Barry from being a prick in future?

I'm on Vittoria Mezcals at the moment. Disclaimer: they're the only nobbly gravel tyre I've used. I really rate them though. Good grip and fast on and off road.

Clearly not worn by former/current fixie skidders who's knees have been shot since their mid 20s. Mine start to ache if it gets below 15° and I'm in shorts.

We've got a Vax Blade 4 (the pet version) and it's really decent for the money. The drawbacks are that it feels a bit cheap and the battery doesn't last long so worth buying a spare. Nothing has broken on it after about 4 years of hard use though and it's still really powerful.

I'm after a new sleeping bag and was hoping someone might be able to sell me one!
I'd like it to reasonably warm and pack down as small as possible. It doesn't need to be tiny or super light and comfort is definitely more important than packability but equally, I want something that I can throw in a backpack without it taking up the entire thing as my current one does.

Recommendations for something new that won't break the bank also appreciated (although if new I'd want to avoid down).

For context, I probably won't actually take it camping but I play in an overwhelmingly unpopular band and spend a decent amount of time sleeping on people's floors (quite often in unheated shitholes).

I have a pair of these and quite like them. They're no good for me when it's properly cold (probably will be for most though) and they're definitely not properly waterproof. Definitely worth a punt for that price!

They're all gone I'm afraid!

I bought my first electric bike last week. A Buzzbike EZ, bought for peanuts as they're going out of business. I used to work for them so know how flawed these are but it's been ideal so far. I quite often have to lug bits around town for work and also play drums in a couple of bands. It's been great for getting my heavy cymbals and bass drum pedal to work, then practice then home which is about 25 miles. Too much for me to do on a regular bike and public transport is just miserable. It's definitely a useful tool but not particularly interesting.

Hot tip. Just picked one up as a Christmas present.
