I’m very pleased it’s not a small frame….lovely bike..

£225….
That’s £218 more than my most ridden bike originally cost…..
I quite like the Lidl / Aldi suggestion….

I’m struggling to find either 3/4 waterproof shorts (apart from the weird Altura ones) or 3/4 padded tights. Has anyone got any recommendations?
Ta…

Ta. That could work…

Unfortunately the only frame bag that fits the frame is so small I’d only get a sip…

I think I’m going for a handlebar bag to carry stuff and the bottle cage in frame… it’ll need to be about 2L, I’m researching…

Actually the obvious answer is to use 2 bottle cages attached to the handlebars, one for a bottle one for a tool canister…

I’ve just built up a small Surly Krampus. If I fit a small frame bag to carry a tube / pump / tool I can’t fit a bottle holder. There are no more bottle bolt holes and even the Velcro attached bottle cage I have won’t fit anywhere. Any thoughts on a way of carrying a bottle without putting it somewh...

I’ve a “few” UNOs. If you’re not sorted…

I do have some but posting them is awkward because of the width.
Where abouts are you? I’m Bristol but galavanting about over the next few weeks…

Thank you but I think I one lurking in the garage, so hopefully that will do the job…

Do these exist or did I imagine it. I’m trying to make one of my Surlys winter ready….

I’m still looking.
Can swap / part exchange a medium Surly Krampus frameset…or buy

Wanted small Surly Troll, 1 x 1, Ogre or Karate Monkey frame or frameset, can do some sort of deal with my medium Krampus frameset or buy…
Ta..

Thank you for the offer. I’m going to test my set up next week. If I can get all my stuff in, I’m sorted, if not I might take you up on your kind offer….

Thanks everyone who suggested something. I’ve bought the World from Kamoot. The plan is to download the map I want, keep it keep the phone in my pocket and look at it if I get lost or one of my natural stops, early coffee, breakfast, coffee and cake, dinner, afternoon coffee, ice cream, etc…

I did look at that but a mate who has it said it had glicks and he’s had a few issues, it pointing to roads that don’t exist and that it gets a bit weird on roundabouts.

Someone suggested Kamoot on my phone. A numpty question. If I did this are routes downloaded so I can switch off data and still use it (like Google maps) as my phone battery won’t cope with Strava and live maps (sorry if that’s a bit technical )

Oddly I used to do that when motorbiking. It did the job getting to the Peloponnes. I did consider it again but I thought I might try technology

Hi, My normal system of follow someone who has the route is not going to cut it on my next trip as I’ll be on my own. Can someone recommend a navigation system I can use that’s relatively inexpensive that’s good for things like coast to coast, Wales end to end type rides. I have a very old iPhone an...

Ta.
I think with small saddlebags front and rear, 2 x bags on the forks, a half frame bag it’ll be fine. I’ll hopefully test that next week.

That’s neat. I don’t have mounts at the rear for a rack….

Thanks, I’ll look into them..

Hi I wondered if anyone has any brilliant ideas to carry luggage on a small (Surly 1x1) frame. The frame bag carries tools / tubes, etc, then 2 fork bags and a saddle bag. I use Mary bars and am thinking a bar bag might possibly be enough (any recommendations?). I don’t have rack mounts and can’t ca...

If you get desperate I have an ISIS one…
