Ultra light tourer

[JohnClimber]

Ok, so it's not my bivi bike but I've just received my fuel tank bag and set my CX bike up as a credit card tourer with a bit of a plan for mid next week.

The plan is to ride the 174 miles of the Ravenglass to South Shields Sustrans route number 72 - Hadrian's Cycleway on this over 2 days.


Carrying a change of clothes for the evening pub, camera, mobile phone, bit of cash and a credit card for a B&B on route and the train return.

OK so knock me down for posting :evil:

I'd love to be able to add one of those to the collection!

Looks smart though. Nearly bought one before I plumped for the Kite.

Go for it, speed touring.
Which Planet X frame is that, and do you think it has room for 42mm tyres ? Ta.

It's the new XLS with 35mm tyres with room to spare

Ride postponed for 2 weeks.

Reason for not going = major Brownie points building
