Fresh Goods Friday 206

by 18

It’s the first Fresh Goods of September – and autumn is making a tentative appearance deep in the valley. But never fear! Here’s a glimpse at the gear that’s come in to the office this week:

Olive drab. Nice lace cover.

Dave returned from Eurobike with these tasty looking trail shoes. Twisty for walking, not bendy for riding, apparently. They also have a cord lacing system: Lush. Also, not available in this colourway in the UK (we can get them in black, with red and white detailing).

Lassie’s let herself go… really, really let herself go.

In the absence of any dogs in the office today, Chipps manfully steps up to the plate to model this lovely dog mount for your favourite GoPro camera. Here it is in merciful close-up:

After one last goodbye Eurobike roadtrip, Dave’s finally upgrading his ancient VW T4 Multivan for something a bit more modern and a little bit longer. Here’s his new T5 LWB Kombi which is destined to mutate into the Adventürebüs II. He’ll be blogging the conversion as it happens…

Price: Less
From: Volkswagen Vans

Right – that’s it for this week! The trails are surprisingly dry and ace, so we’re going to strap on some lights, and send Chipps gambolling off on all fours to find some kids down wells, while we hit the trails. Sayonara for now…

Barney Marsh takes the word ‘career’ literally, veering wildly across the road of his life, as thoroughly in control as a goldfish on the dashboard of a motorhome. He’s been, with varying degrees of success, a scientist, teacher, shop assistant, binman and, for one memorable day, a hospital laundry worker. These days, he’s a dad, husband, guitarist, and writer, also with varying degrees of success. He sometimes takes photographs. Some of them are acceptable. Occasionally he rides bikes to cast the rest of his life into sharp relief. Or just to ride through puddles. Sometimes he writes about them. Bikes, not puddles. He is a writer of rongs, a stealer of souls and a polisher of turds. He isn’t nearly as clever or as funny as he thinks he is.
