that's a good effort there

They look great.

i've done everything on that list (although only half of the ridgeway) and its all great riding - should be a good trip.

you could do something along the lines of: ridgeway icknield way boudicca way marriotts way bure valley path then via ludham to martham A whole lot of that route is off road You may want to straighten boudicca way a bit and marriotts way and the bure valley path take you the long way round but if yo...

I do. Have got a Genesis Croix De Fer Ti.

Also had a Van Nicholas Road bike up until a little while ago

Why - because there is nothing as good looking IMO

And it's light and rides well but these are secondary considerations to the aesthetic

a charge spoon is almost exactly the same size as a c15

so much so that i switched spoon to c15 and didnt really notice

another off topic reply but I also live in Norwich. if wild camps are on the cards i would be up for tagging along. if they include beer so much the better.

I did my first tour with a forclaz 2 man "ultralight" 2kg tent. was a good bit of kit but then i decided that 2kg was too heavy. So I got a Terra Nova laser competition 1 which was very lightweight, packed small and seemed durable....but when sleeping it felt like a coffin and after one we...

i have a fizik gobi here

was going to put it up for sale but haven't got round to it yet

i've used an anything cradle for a few years now where previously i had harnesses the anything cradle has never given me any concern at any point, it just does it's job strap faffery? they are a bit of a pain to put on but you only have to do that once when you first buy it, after that you just clip...

not 100% sold on the colour but looks the job to try one out

does that price include postage? i'll have it if so.

interested in the brooks potentially

can i see pics please

arrived today (i missed postie the first time)

all good, thanks

you're probably not but if you were interested in splitting i'd like the pouch

Yes It goes near lots of towns and villages but the route i took rarely went through them. Most of the time you are in countryside, i manged to stealth camp 2 nights, near Newmarket and Hitchin I found a great stealth camping spot just outside Hitchin, it was well hidden but at the top of a hill wit...

I had one for a few years

absolutely loved it.

Did road rides on it, Did BIkepacking on it, Even rode it round the Nurburgring

It rode great, was comfortable everywhere and good fun


Only reason I moved it on was I replaced it with a Titanium CDF because titanium...

I've done the whole Icknield way i started at home (Norwich) cycled down to Knettishall Heath and went from there through to Radnage, i was on the Ridgeway (i think it is) by then. I followed the GPS track that's floating around somewhere Its a lovely ride, i would recommend it There are lots of str...

I have found that it will send you down some lovely trails you wouldn't otherwise find

But it also imagines trails that simply aren't there and aren't even passable

My collection: Genesis Croix De Fer Ti (2018) I love titanium, i also love the Croix De Fer. this is my No 1 Bike, built it up with Sram Etap WiFli. On Mavic Open Pro wheels and Gravelkings. Do most of my riding on this, and my last 2 Bikepacking trips ALAN (1994) An absolute work of art - Glued and...

possibly, but they are more suitable for strapping things to the top i think

they don't have much that would support things down the sides

Look at the Nitto R14

I have one, it's pretty much the same thing as the salsa, except for the fact you can actually buy it

Alpkit??? This is what I've decided on when my Wildcat gives up. The Stingray is made in the Peaks, has 2 pockets/openings on one side and one map pocket on other as standard. Theyre willing to work with you pn strapping options and everyone thats had pne has always spoken highly of it (AFAIK)... O...

grabbed a copy yesterday (not had a chance to read it yet)

thanks for the heads up

proper funny that
good lad

when i built up my latest bike (a CDF TI) which is my main bike used for road and cross country general riding and also bikepacking I needed lower gears as my last bikepacking trip with a 50/34 compact really stressed my knee and resulted in too much pushing I wanted to otherwise keep my 2x setup so...

I think a lot of it depends on where you live, if you have good mountain biking near you, then the best job for mountain biking, is a mountain bike, 20 years of suspension and brake evolution was there for a purpose.... But, i find a lot of modern mountain bikes a bit sterile because of it, all the...
