Thanks ScotRoutes, looks an interesting ride - shall have a look at maps and see if feasible.
What midges like in September? Tent or tarp time?

Dropping wife in Glasgow 1st weekend in September to visit friend and thought might bring the bike and go for an overnight from there. Open to suggestions from those in the know - plan leave early Saturday and back Sunday afternoon. What would you guys recommend? Happy get train out and ride back or...

Sorry just seen your reply drliamski, live Newcastle, but work around county Durham if any use.

As per edit, Frame and Fork now £175 posted. Open to offers.
Cheers,

Thanks Borderer, that's really helpful. No worries, Wizard of Oz, wasn't trying prompt response - friend of a friend may have been interested too. Doctor Rad - £35 posted ? Anyone else interested in frame/ fork - now I know cost posting (and need shift as justified new bike based on selling this aft...

I'm just waiting hear from someone about taking whole lot if not happy split brakes/ levers. Hopefully let you know tomorrow.

Hi, let me check postage and get back to you as long time since I last sent a frame. If you wanted to arrange courier/ collection happy with £250 ( thinking be about £30 for me send it)

If no luck here try some canoe forums like songofthepaddle, would have some interest I reckon - they don't need worry about weight/size as much.

Just frame swapped to new longitude for +size tyre comfort. Selling my 17.5" Fortitude Adventure frame and fork , pair 29er DT Swiss rims and 2 pair 29er tyres - continental X-King 2.2 partially worn and Double Fighter 2.0 barely worn. Would rather sell as job lot if possible - £300 plus postag...

What about a collapsible bag/ bottle - platypus do one, or even empty camelbak type bladder? Take minimal space empty but fill up and food/ drink grade material.

Hmm, never thought of that - maybe need look at Plan B - Jones bars instead, saves buy new levers/ shifter.

Yes, thank you. That's pretty much what I'm going for!
Thanks for the lever information, this is starting to be a very expensive experiment :)

Unfortunately, sort of, I have 11 speed Alfine. Although on looking they also do 11 speed too, pricey though! Might have to ask Santa

Great, thanks shall have a look

I have a Genesis Fortitude Adventure which i am trying to figure out setup for putting some woodchippers, or similar, on. Current BB7 mtb brakes - can't see road type levers that are definitely compatible - does anyone know if the Tektro RL520 will have enough pull? Or recommend something compatible...
