Re: Recommend me a quilt
Very similar design and quality to Cumulus, i.e. very nice indeed. https://hyberg.de/collections/quilts/products/loner-lite-250 They look like good value Richard, any experience from use? Yes James, absolutely couldn't fault it. I have a Cumulus 150 and this is made from what felt like identical ma...

Re: Reilly bikes look really nice
I've got a Reilly Gradient and it properly is the dogs. I bought it frame only and when it turned up, I thought it was so nice I thought about getting a 2nd one just to put on the wall (but I'm not that rich!).

I’ve already got a Cumulus 150 quilt, but wanted a bit of extra warmth and water repla...

Message Outbox
Hi good forum folk.
I've got a couple of PM's sitting in my Outbox that don't seem to get sent, is there anything I need to do to move them on?
Cheers.
