Re: Salsa cutthroat frame bag

Alpkit do a bespoke service. I've just got one and it is great. There was a discount too. Might still be on the website. It was cheaper than the kinda-fitting Apidura of-the-shelf frame bag I was considering initially.

Re: Patagonia Primaloft jacket blue L - swaps for a medium

Evening Monsieur Le Shaf! I have an unusual Howies winter riding jacket with zip off sleeves that is just a bit too snug. Rather hard to describe so pictures here: https://photos.app.goo.gl/kBwaweMoquAXcwEr6 It has a nifty offset zip so you can snuggle down without a zip between the teeth and two ca...

1). SSUK in the Quantocks. It reminded me of all the reasons why I enjoy getting on a bike with lots of other people. 2). I started my own company and bought a 'company vehicle'.

Ha, i did consider them! Actually I reckon a leather glove would work. But I'd look a bit weird.

Gorse proof gloves anyone?

Fed up with death by a thousand pricks ever summer. I need a pair of gloves with a ballistic nylon back and thin grippy front.

Anyone got any suggestions?

Thanks.

Yup, i sold mine when i needed to buy an ebike to keep me riding during some health issues. Thankfully Shaf sold it back to me when I'd mostly recovered! I've tried it in various guises.

Folding bike bag

A bag for a folding bike. It'll fit a Brompton but not my 20" Carrera so probably not a Decathlon equivalent.

The bag does however also fold up into an attached bag.

Not sure I'm explaining this well:

Re: Folding Bikes - Experiences..

I've got a Carrera Intercity with hydraulic disc brakes. It flies!!

I wanted Brompton but had problems buying the one I wanted so went for the Carrera. I would like it to fold smaller but for the money it is faster and lighter and I don't mind locking it places. It also folds quicker!
