Postie has dropped off my Alpkit Framebag and silicone grips for my Fatty, both in fluro Orange. :-bd Can't wait to get shot of the god awful lock-ons. Why anyone would be prepared to give up all riding comfort just to save 60 seconds on grip fitment is beyond me. :roll:

Bought a Thermarest NeoAir Xlite in the New Year sales - 346g for a full length mat!!

Means my Quilt/sleeping mat/down jacket combo comes in at a very respectable 1026 grams. Not bad given the warmth and versatility.

A big box of XT shifters, XT cassette, chain, XT shadow plus rear mech all from CRC with a saving of about £90.
New rubber bots for my BB7s and a 180 adaptor for the front and a laptop battery, so that I can spend more time on line discussing bikes than riding them.

- Sturmey Archer 'duomatic' wheel
- Columbia fatbiking boots
- Charge 'Spoon ti'
- Trail Magic book

Not a bad haul!

That's quite a bag and a great find on gumtree! Do you know the story behind it? What adventures it was used for?
