Fresh Goods Friday 787: The Blanketing Pigs Edition

What's the weight of that Cast tyre? Looks interesting

1,275g (there's a pic of it on some scales up there) 🙂

Oval chainrings are probably the best component you can fit to a bike.

I will be interested in your thoughts of the oval chain ring.
I tried one for the first time after 35 years of round and will be interested if you think the same.

Not quite true for an e-bike, though

D'oh, missed that, thanks @Ben_Haworth 👍 

I have one of those oval rings on my 2015 TR Scout. Fitted quite a few years ago just to see. There is a difference and I like it a lot. Techy climbs are where the benefits are in my opinion.

I built up my old Decade Virtue (original name) over lockdown for an old mate as a birthday present. I am happy to say, at 63 years, he is now a regular rider after not riding a bike since he was a kid. Still a great frame I reckon.

Had both of those Kinesis Decade and Bfe.
So there.
