Nice though, I would.

so it's your fault we are having all this rain then .. Eh?

a few years ago in the celestial home of the gods*

[i]"Hmmm I say Odin... why the duece are they putting guttering on their sheds?"

"Oh that's because they are scared there won't be enough water for their plants... they collect it you see."

"Oh they do do they.... right then... they want water... I'll give the buggers water"[/i]

He HAS TWO SHEDS!

I think you're right, i mistakenly thought there was a fence inbetween said sheds.

He seems very posh.

Is that your 'rest of life tourer'? If it's a tourer, why the brifters? Bar ends are for tourers....

That looks great Ton. Something has shifted in me, I seldom get enthusiastic about the latest mtb, but show me a touring bike and I go all wistful for country lanes, a thermos of tea and sausages in my saddle bag.

That's a substantial fence, very solid.

Those bikes look great all round. Very considered.
Good choice.
Can you report back when you've done some big adventures on it?

I've got one pretty much identical to that! Great bike, very happy with it.

However, it is my third Edinburgh Bike Co-op Revolution Country Explorer, I had two of the previous models (Al, rather than steel) and both ended up cracking at the seat-tube/bottom bracket junction, bizarrely when they both came up to the 8000 mile odometer reading. Anyways, the steel one is going strong at 4000+ miles and I keep checking it for cracks without any signs so fingers crossed.

Just got to put a Brooks saddle on it with a Carradice cotton duck saddle bag and it'll be good to go!
