Friday’s here and the weekend’s knocking on the door. Let’s peruse the Fresh Goods while we plan some rides yeah?
Nukeproof Mega TR 275 Comp
A 150mm/130mm bike for all day adventures? That’ll do.
The Nukeproof Mega looks to be a very tidy trail bike and perfect for a bit of everything. The 6061 aluminium hydroformed frame is Stealth Reverb compatible, a dropper post being the only thing that seems to be missing from the package.
Suspension is handled by Rockshox Monarch and Revelation and the bike comes with a 2×10 mix of SRAM X5 and X7, 180mm Avid Elixir 5’s deal with scrubbing speed.
Price: £2399.00

Jorji’s just taken delivery of her Long Termer – a 100mm full suspension marathon/endurance focussed Whyte M-109.
With a Fox Float 32 Evolution up front and a matching Float CTD boost valved shock handling everything else, the M-109 comes with a 3×10 Deore/SLX mixed drivetrain and 1180mm Shimano BR596 brakes taking care of stopping.
Price: £1999

Ford Transit Custom Kombi
Ford has sent us a van to review as part of our ‘Project Singletrack New Van’ and we’ve been out trying this Transit Custom Kombi. It’s an eight seater (still with luggage room) or you can remove three, or six, seats to get more bikes and gear in. We’ll be back with a full review, but first impressions are mighty good.
Price: From £30,954 (though ours has many fancy extras)
From: ford.co.uk
Right we’re outta here. See you Monday; go shred some Gnar, skirt some brown pow or just enjoy riding your bike.

How big is the Garmin cam, anything for scale?
That Nukeproof looks very smart. Just need to wait for CRC to reduce the price. (cos they will, wont they?)
To give you a Garmin Virb sense of scale, it’s about the size of an Etrex.
I had to look up ‘biomass’ cos I thought it might be poo. but it’s twigs and stuff so that’s a relief.
I bet dried poo will work tho, I’m off out to collect some 😉
I saw a buiLite stove in the local LCS a few months back – Lovely piece of kit
Uneven ground, a naked flame and a pot of boiling water balanced on top. The perfect place to charge a phone.
“Project Singletrack New Van” – nice angle.
Looking forward to the “Project Singletrack Private Jet” feature in the future. Perfect for those last minute trips to the Alps 🙂
Goodness gracious. “1180mm Shimano BR596 brakes” on the Whyte. Are you stealthing a new rotor standard on us?
Will Madison be doing the Virb as they already do GoPro?
Madison is happy doing GoPro, so the Virb seems to be going through Garmin UK itself.
Like the look of the van, 5 people plus 5 bikes – perfect for road trips! Mega tr looks smart too.
Not sure on the colour of the van, its a bit… meh
I tried the coffee from Pact. It was quite nice!
Unfortunately I paid full price but you can get the first one for just £1 when you use the code #joyofsix.
Can cancel the sub anytime, no catches or gimmicks. I gain nothing out of it just spreading the love!
