I spent ages looking.. before getting my lease documents which explicitly said no wood floors, because flat. That might be reason 1.

You've then got three options; real wood, engineered hardwood and vinyl. Engineered seemed like the best option. There are plenty of sites you can use to workout the cost of materials and order free samples from. From reading I'd also go for the best sound proof underlay you can afford.

This made me chuckle. https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2016/sep/26/i-finally-own-my-first-house-so-why-do-i-have-buyers-remorse

not quite for bikepacking (yet) but got a custom bar bag made up by MackWorkshop for some commuting duties. Chose all the dimensions, strap locations, etc. chose a boring colour to be discrete but it's ace, kind of like a big pencil case.

20-30g to be saved there, deda superleggero?

Anyone riding their Vigs indoors (namely Lee Valley); are 170mm cranks OK?

edit: found something on specs http://www.ccaforum.co.uk/discussion/3873/bringing-your-own-bike-to-the-lea-valley-velodrome

As my bike is in bits and just a frameset, is anyone feeling kind enough to measure their vig, centre of BB to floor?

"165mm or 170mm cranks with 280mm (11”) or greater bottom bracket
height (measured from floor to centre of bottom bracket)"

Attaqueur?

Buy a long strip of helicopter tape from eBay, should last much longer and is clear so can leave it on without worrying too much about aesthetics.

Bit of a battle with the front guard but it's finally (nearly) finished. Need to cut the mudguard stays down and fit some bigger 28c tyres, then fini.

cheers all, it's freaking on! hand and pliers did the job of sorting the stays.

Before I do anything daft and ruin them, is it possible to accurately bend the SkS metal poles without a vice?

I couldn't afford one anyway but the 2017 Slate prices are up up up up :/

thanks, that's an ace solution! will drop them a message about stock..

best way to hang a frame up on the wall as a centre piece?

I've seen the Outline Works Trophy Bull Holder and some peoples home made Wooden Pole hangers. Prefer the later but requires some skill on my part. I recon the Bull Holder will sit too far off the wall as it's built to hold a full bike.

There are plenty of people in their 50-70s that will have owned properties outright for decades in and around London that have ballooned in value and also had grand parents pass these down, lots of cash/capital sloshing around for some.

following a run of custom Buffs last year, I've just taken delivery of 110 caps from Walz, it's a strong look when the peaks up!

I can't wait for the traffic to feck off, not done a clear lap for nearly 2 months and I've been there at some unsociable hours.

brilliant, perfect feedback! into the recycle bin..

sending a smorgasbord of sock ideas to our resident designer at my club. As you can see, I'm not a designer.. but in homage to Electric Six, naff? ignore the sock itself..

It does look good on it's own. Might do London > Start > Petit loop and home. There is a guide book for that one..

Has anyone here done the Tour De Manche loop; south coast UK / North coast France with seperate ferry crossings? about 1,000km riding but there's also a shorter route that's 400km. Apparently 75% is greenway and traffic free.

Thinking about going for max hipster kudos and fixie bikepacking it.

Fixed with a disc finally built.

Still missing a front mudguard but nearly there..

Thanks, I'll measure the depth required tonight and drop you a message.
