Small Revelate Tangle, fits my small Inbred and Pompino nicely. Shipped from Veloista is Switzerland no hassle.

Looks good. Can you fit a bottle holder in the space?

The post man brought me a Grivel Munro ice axe today. Should come in really handy in this part of London

Hoping for snow in the Lakes at the end of Feb.

Two rim strips to try this tubeless nonesense.

Not on the inbred, maybe a small one on the pompino

I'm having an anti bottle phase anyway

I got a tangle bag (Med) on the Swift. Enough space on the downtube for a bottle
However the one on the seattube there isnt room, so I got a storage bottle with spares/tool which is sorter

Wasn't really courtesy of the postman as I went round to Mat / Ukhammocks to collect some stuff last night. Fatal mistake

Picked up a 3/4 summer fill (250g) UG in featherlite pertex. Downy loveliness. The size isn't what I expected but hey ho, I like it!

An array of quilt hooks, quilt clips, Dutch clips, hooks and some glowing lineloks. But I still managed to forget what I really wanted which was a pair of Whoopie Hooks. Now I have to go back! I remembered the blinking amsteel for the whoopies I'm going to splice them into but not the damn hooks

Netted tarp tubes and an EDC hammock.

Blinking flip

Tin foil bubble wrap to make a cosy and possibly bar muff thingy's.

Rab Storm body, sorry Bivi Bag courtesy of SteveMorg :)

Not exactly delivered by the postie but it's still new. Fetched my Surly Pugsley yesterday and tested it today. So that makes bikes 6 in the how many thread! getting a bit tight in the kitchen now!!

First batch of spares for me today: rotors, disc pads, canti pads, a seat clamp and a hub seal.

Mountaion Hardware Ethereal Bivi, with the addition of 6 (could use much less) pegs and a short dynema guy it's 780g packed on the kitchen scales

Borah Tarp and Bivi (finally)

Ergon GS1 grips, hopefully these will help with my gammy paw

One of which was this:



And another this:



Didn't even get to try the Blackbird as the boy commandered it. Brief time in the Ridge Runner were very comfortable, if a little "tippy". Early days. Need to get a hang of the set up.

Are you going to run in them or are they camp/river crossing wear?

Rather than camp river crossing wear

A nice man in Brecon sent me one of these today.
He'd won it in the Alpkit/Go Pro comp just before christmas and didn't like it so I took it off his hands for a knock down price. :D

And a backpacking book from Stu.

Probably neither. I liked the look of them and they were only £20 :)
You may even be shocked to hear that I haven't even weighed them

Who was that then?

It's been a busy week for the postie in LS7...

A SPOT tracker from ebay
A Rab Neutrino Endurance 200 sleeping bag from Mountain Leisure in Perth (good price, good service)
And a lot of the parts for this...



A Kinesis FF29 with IX forks. Built up on Friday night, ridden yesterday. Great, great bike. Fun, engaging and way more composed than a 19lb rigid bike should be. Will be my do everything bike for this year... racing, adventures and playing. Dropper post will be swapped for a Thomson for bike packing, and I fancy some (even) wider bars. 710mm USE ones now feel really narrow after a winter or using 750mm+ bars on other bikes.

That's a nice bike. Shame they don't do a ss specific version (they were meant to then dropped it I think).

I ike the look of those IX forks

Very, very nice, a ss bike even at only 19lb would still see my knees exploding, it's hard getting old .

That's lovely Tom.
