Passive - aggro gravel? https://www.bikeradar.com/news/2022-sonder-camino/

Credit where its due to alpkit, contacted me on launch to ask if I wanted a discount on the old model I'd already ordered, or a slight delay and the new frame.

Yeah has worked before but not this time

I've a fly 12 front which has died, if anyone fancies trying o resurrect it, they are welcome to it for cost of postage

yeah, its a chunk cheaper than most of the competition

they've only said a build time, but I would hope that they'll send it out pretty quick once its done

Build date through for my sonder Camino Al axs.... Only march which seems very reasonable these days

As new with tags but a bit big on me (6'4, 90kg)

£35 posted

I've got some dealer boots from them, they've worn really well and really comfy after some initial stiffness. Really tempted by some more or their boots.

any Dirty Reiver tyre suggestions? It'll be on my cross bike, but I'll have room for something around 38-40mm by the looks

Galibier usually have a good variety off buffs etc

I've a pair of brogue solovair and really like then. I used the guide on Thier website to check my size and they fit me well.

My sponge has become pretty gummed up, any tips?

I'm trying Peaties foaming degreaser instead of Fenwick's now, to avoid aerosol

Yea fair point, the tarmac will be a fond memory come the grassy slippery Escott climbing though :)

First south west league race, middle distance triathlons really didn't prepare me for this 🤢

Super fun all the same, something uniquely childish about rolling round in the mud for an hour.

My hammer price was 135000yen, stepwagons are cheaper, as less popular in other export markets and it's silver which isn't popular in japan.

So I've paid similar to you in export taxes, shipping etc it's just the base vehicle was v cheap.

I won mine at auction 10th June, not sure how many weeks that is. But I had some good people working hard to get it on a ship.

Yes, I used an agent to help me to find suitable vehicles, and who could attend the auction, inspect vehicles, and then bid.

£350 not much more than my current shabby Skoda, but I do have off-street parking and live in a low risk place

narrower than a t5 and I think lower. Similar length to a swb.

It's a Honda, it's not about how fast it goes, it's about how many people are stuck behind you admiring your Panama hat on the parcel shelf

By the time I've paid all the taxes, MOT, registered it a d got it undersealed it'll of cost just under £5k all in.

It's a 2010 model with 93000km on the clock, so the version where the rear seats fold away into the floor and the middle row fold forward, so plenty of bike and napping space.

In other Japanese import news, my stepwagon has arrived into Southampton also and going through its MOT as soon as the fog lights fitted.

New Astana rap?

Got myself a stepwagon at auction back in June, and it's just landed in Southampton. Main delay was getting it on the boat.

Next delay will be registered it, as dvla are on a go slow. Joy.

I find carrying out cat carrier 500m to the vets awkward, because of the one sidedness and distance out from your side. Wouldn't want to take the wee beastie too much further like that.

Yeah wasn't clear if it was groupset or frame issue, mine was mechanical ultegra which may not even exist by then? Who knows

:( streal delivered moved back to July, bad times
