@jameso Thanks for the extra intel and offer, very kind. I must admit they do look good and it was a tough call but I’m going see out my curiousty of the Digest… though I might be back to eat my words and take you up on the offer if they’re still kicking around. @Retiredtester Thanks! I’ve DM’d you.

Hi all. Before I re-tape and re-hose my On One Midge bars does anyonw have any surplus super-flared bars? There’s some positive feedback about Genetic Digest or Ritchey VentureMax on previous posts. I’ve found Genetic Digest’s for £38 online so before I checkout does anyone have a pre-loved bargain ...

Are these still available?

You should have a DM in your inbox about the seat pack.

DM incoming about BackLoader

A Ribble windproof Gilet and a pair of SKS Anywhere water bottle mounts from @Gpl23’s £5 spare room clear out.

PM’d about a few bits

Hello. I’m looking for a cheap bar-end friction shifter that I can experiment on. It’s likely to go wrong so I really don’t want to ruin a perfectly good piece of kit and preferably not spend a lot of cash on. Preferably Shimano with a wider range… but at this point I’ll take anything. Left or right...

RAB eVent Alpine bivi bags reduced from £270 to £110 (promo code SP-SC-20). If the code doesn't work you may need to be a member (free). Thanks for that! I almost pulled the trigger without using the code. Nice bonus discount at the checkout. I grabbed one and a RAB silk liner, also at half price. ...

I gave AlasdairMc’s Singular Swift a new home.

Sat eagerly refreshing the tracking code on Tue morning only to say it was sat in the Edinburgh depot. Popped to the shops for an hour at 11am, when I got back it was sat in my hallway.

I went for a spin over the South Downs and was dazzled by the lines. Had some lovely shots framed up but the light was constantly changing. Happy with these three though. https://i.imgur.com/VZ8cXxH.jpg?1 No hallucinogens required. https://i.imgur.com/RsnQ5mb.jpg?1 This heap of seaweed was so dark i...

New chain and tyres to resurrect the Stooge from it’s winter hibernation.



Also splashed out on some Aiguille Alpine frame wedges and handlebar/contour bag.

Definitely intersted. PM’d

A very reasonable and well kept 16L Ortlieb saddlebag thanks to @redefined_cycles. Ta!

Thanks for all the recommendations, there’s a couple on here that look suitable, I just need to get stuck into my Friday night beers and make a drunken purchase.

Hi folks. Long time lurker, first time poster. After piling on some excess reserves over Christmas I need to back out on the bike asap but my only footwear options are wellies or a pair of pristine white Dunlops. I recently moved away from SPDs to flats and loving it. However I’ve worn through my cr...

Hi Zippy, PM’d about the seatpost.

Green Stooge with plus size wheels and a couple of anything cages ghetto clamped to the front forks.

See you on the island!

Oh great, looking forward to this even more now! I've spent a lot of time on the IOW but not much riding.

How many people turn up in fancy dress then? Are we talking about a handful of people or do most people make an effort? Got a couple of ideas up my sleeve…

Not strictly a bike packing event but wondered if there were any Boners attending this year? Having only just fitted a cassette and the other bits for the SDW last weekend, I'm single again — ladies! — in time for the weekend bash in a couple off weeks. I'll be heading down from Lewes so should be t...

Well, this has come around quick, I feel mightily unprepared!

Also booked for Markus Stitz on the Friday night - https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/markus-s ... ehomesaved

Anyone else going?

Interested in the Shimano M8000 rear derailleur.

Also what colour is the Salsa flip lock?
