I'm getting rid of this as I never really use it, bargain at £2000 as I need to make space... This 2021 Salsa Cutthroat (54cm) is in great condition, with the frame fully wrapped for protection since new. There’s no damage to the frame itself—just minor marks on the protective wrap from light use. T...

Possibly yeah, around Sampford Peverell? Bit further for you than me, only 80km to Horner from mine...

sod it, gonna ride up to the start

I was enjoying my lunch, and missed out. bollox

I guess as it's a daily charge carpark, you can't leave it there overnight... Not sure where to park it while we ride?

Finisterre are a b-corp and their stuff is bloody brilliant. You get what you pay for.

Nice, be good to see you Dave, we can compare our mullets.

I suspect these ones in Bellever forest

Potentially up for this, sounds interesting and pretty local for me

Great, thanks for the grid ref

I'm up for this again, where's the car park we're starting et exactly?

That GPX seems to be running clockwise from Lynton?

I'm running a belt (albeit on a pinion 1.18), I only got the bike a couple of months ago. I snapped the first belt within a week. Turns out I hadn't read the f'ing manual, and I had got the belt on by mounting a few teeth then turning the cranks like you would with a chain on a single speed. That cr...

I'm genuinely interested in this outlook and where it comes from. I think it's probably just from bad experience with an on-one with some terrible early PF standard, the BBs had plastic cups are were total junk. Maybe newer standards are better, do the bearings press directly in to the frame/metal ...

their customers being the bike manufacturers rather than the paying public- again I dont recall anyone wishing bottom brackets were fitted like headsets I agree with this. Factories make what they are told to make by bike designers. Who make decisions on both merit of design and the bottom line, co...

Except Pressfit isn't proven junk. There are some awful implementations of it but done properly, PF is a perfectly fine standard. Bashing brands that can manufacture correctly is fine, but bashing the standard makes no sense. Because there wasn't a problem with threaded BBs, so it's a pointless sta...

I was just looking at the DirTi too, why, why? Pressfit is proven junk, why do people still bother?

A mountain bike for gravel bikers?

Only thing it's missing is

What made you settle on the P1.18 out of interest? I was gonna get the c1.12, but Dmitry at Triton got an OEM dealers email from pinion that they had a few orange P1.18s surplus to an order from a manufacturer, so I got about 30% off in the end. It is heavy, 2.5kg for the box alone, but it's low an...

mountainbaker, that pinion bike is fantastic. something similar is my aim. You wont be disappointed, the pinion takes a little getting used to, but now I love it. And make sure you read the guides on how to handle the belt, I ramped mine on to the chainring like you would with a chain, and it snapp...

I love Ti, have been riding it for about 10 years, never damaged any of my Ti frames, I currently have a Pickenflick for groad duties that I really mistreat and it's fine. I got a custom one made for Tour Divide in 2015 by Triton in Moscow, their workmanship is amazing and very reasonably priced, th...

That's great, thanks Stu, will dump it roadside somewhere then! Can't wait.

I reckon I'm up for this after a 5 year hiatus! Could I dump my van at yours Stu? Won't give you hugs, promise.

Bollox, missed the boat on this, was excited for some death marching.
