Some Xmas reading.

[Scattamah]

@RP...just seeing those makes me long to be back on that route. Keep those maps away from heat sources...they melt very easily!

Enjoy the reading.

[EDIT] Are the Butte detours in there? Shouldn't follow I15, but goes around town and comes in from the opposite end to the Outdoorsman. [/EDIT]

No they're the 2011 maps.

I'll check the addenda nearer the time, or maybe pick up the newest version of the maps.

Bear Bones tee shirt arrived, cheers Stu

But the grey on blue is very hard to read unless you're close up

The postman was almost about to be on his way to mine but.....

(luckily for me as Mrs Boss would've bloody killed me)

.....I just narrowly lost an eBay auction for a 'retro as hell' Dave Marsh steel road frame and forks to replace my Kaffenback as my 'town-bike' (too stealable despite my best efforts).

Good dodge but it's only a matter of time until I get myself a Dave Marsh frame - so lovely!

Ooops, I got a second chance offer and bought the frame.

Weirdly Mrs Gairy wasn't too bothered.

Result!

XT cranks & B/B + XT FD.

On one midge bars after ordering 3weeks ago

A Kemo for the dynamo hub setup. It's the bigger one, and it is quite big and relatively heavy compared to the little Kemo.

Had this for two months but forgot to post. Planet X XLS cross bike.

I'd been sniffing around one for over a year after building a gravel crosser from a Charge bikes 700c flat-bar hybrid. PX put up the price early this year and downgraded the offered tyres, and so I decided to not bother. The addition of a full carbon fork got me thinking again but I only recently decided to bite after PX offered an even better spec –

It was only supposed to be 10 speed but in true PX style they screwed up the spec on the website and listed it with the new 11 speed SRAM Rival 22 groupset, which they provided after I returned the 10 speed bike they originally sent.

It flys

Nice new BB t-shirt turned up today and the LBS successfully put right my neglected months of fork service. Wins all round.

[Blackhound]

I should know better:

The deposit wasn't much;-) Ended up with a CK headset as well.

Want to try and do an long audax next week and build up after that in Campagnolo and Mercian built wheels from my current frame.

[johnnystorm]

Postie hasn't been yet but I'm 30mins tops from Alpkit HQ and I've just had the email to say my Frame bag is in the post.

[TheBrownDog]

My nice light blue BB t-shirt. Little Miss BrownDog says it makes my eyes pop *.

* Im not sure what this means

rear hub now arrived too.

Gone for DT 350's

Not quite as light as a pair of hopes (22g more for the pair) but hopefully more reliable.
