    Quite like this pic:

    Shouldn’t be too hard to guess what it is. Can’t wait to ride it properly 🙂

    Are you hiding moss, bad grass and weeds in that photo?

    Yes all of the above, aswell as a pile of manky garden canes.
    Never really noticed the garage wall was white before!

    Quite the opposite

    Is that a Gravity dropper ?

    Yes. Was using a Traildrop with remote lever, but I’ll be switching seatposts a bit this year to hook the tagalong up for jr_bandito#2

    Nice colour.

    With flash turned on:

    Needs a slightly shorter stem, and will soon be polluted with mudguards.

    And will go on a diet as funds become available. Weight weenies wouldn’t be impressed.

    I’ll go for Surley Krampus Ops with a Rohloff

    EDIT: You’re kidding. I was looking at that for a few minutes before posting, and you beat me!

    Went for the Ops as I wanted to run the vertical dropouts with a tensioner as I had on the Fortitude. Tried it, didn’t work out as neatly with required chain length, so opted for track ends which seem easier to cope with compared to the Cotic Simple I had years ago that was responsible for 30 min puncture repairs.

    3″ tyres seem fantastic. But thats without riding them a long way uphill on tarmac…

    Sorry.
    Its just another stage in the eternal search for the ultimate bike. All ideas will be merged one day…

    They are! Tarmac climbing was fine with Chronicles, might be more challenging with DWs.

    Planning on fitting Bonty Chuca-wotsits in the summer.
