    Some great options on here. Thanks for all the suggestions, may need a week at this rate. Cheers

    Marin gives you a bit of a longer trail, some great views and a more technical ride. Degla gives you a fun blast and a great bacon bap afterwards.

    Either are good, but with a day off I’d take the Marin, or depending on where you’re coming from, do both with Degla on the way back?

    Can’t offer any advice but watching with interest as deciding when to get mine done. Good luck either way.

    Any love for an Orange P7 29, not seen many reviews but might fit the bill?

    Thanks for the tips – esp re the resale conditions – rare for us to get to a concert these days so not up to date on what you can and cant do and how to go about it.

    Cheers :-)

    Bit of a thread resurrection but are there any reviews out there yet? Or first hand experiences? Looking to get a frame and build it up with some spares but interested in how people are finding it first.

    Nothing to add to the technical side of what’s been said, but a quick way to play when you have a spare 10 minutes (but not a substitute for taking lots of real photos) to see the interactions of the controls is one of the online camera sims

    e.g. http://camerasim.com/apps/original-camerasim/web//

    It gives a quick visual representation of how the controls interact. Helps you to realise the three controls are a compromise that you have to manage to get the picture you want.

    Thanks for the tips – Plagne 1800 is where we are – I’ll be checking out Intersport.

    I think my wife borders on genuine arachnophobia. A tiny, really tiny, really really tiny money spider fell down from the sun visor in the car so she started clawing at the door to exit the car rapidly. At 30mph.

    I’ve learnt never to joke and just deal with them for her – seems safest all round.

    I’m after exactly the same as the OP, but have a double cab transit custom to use as the starting vehicle.

    Any recommendations for firms that could help? I’m particularly stuck on finding swivel seats that don’t need a lot of bodging to get in…

    Been lifting the bike by the saddle with the reverb down?

    Sorry for jumping on the thread, but yes! And now I’ve got a 2cm drop each time I weight it :(

    Will I die? What’s the fix?

    On my 5th BB in 2 years – trying a Wheels Manufacturing one this time. A BB30 bottom bracket would be a show stopper in buying a new bike, they simply don’t work for me in UK conditions. I’ve had Shimano ones last years before needing replacing, whatever marginal benefits BB30 is meant to bring to the rider are not worth the faff and costs of constant BB replacements to me.

    You wont get the same price as a private sale but MPB Photographic offer a good quick and hassle free service if moving your kit is your prime motivation.

    Agreed on needing to give one a try, whichever way I go I’ll have those doubts unless I’ve tried both.

    Park Tools PF30 remover / installation cups.

    Lessens the pain of owning a bike with a PF30 bottom bracket. Two hits and the old one are out, put the cups on a a quick tighten of a headset press and the new ones are in.

    Winter night ride at Llandegla a couple of years ago – very misty – lights almost as much of a hindrance as a necessity.

    Came down the old black run ahead of my mates and and just after one of the right hand berms saw a floating white shape in the middle of the track. It let out an unnatural guttural chesty noise and I desperately skidded to halt with my heart in my mouth.

    Turns out a sheep had got onto the track, but for a moment all sorts of crazy thoughts had been going through my head.

    I had the Sony and loved the pictures but always found myself fighting the interface. In the end I moved it on and went for a Canon G7X – I’ve been happy with that for a while. The new version is out and the first gen one is now falling in price.

    More great suggestions thanks – can’t believe the number of times I’ve driven past Callender Estate without realising we could take the bikes.

    I’ve always found the Moors Pub doesn’t mind you parking there as long as you ask and maybe buy a pint / cup of coffee from from them at some point.

    Wish I’d seen this before I bought one over the Easter weekend. Got a 5 year guarantee I thought – must be a good one if they’ve got that confidence in it…..

    Happy enough that I can’t get in to the box without taking the bikes off, don’t seem to have enough room to get them nose to tail as handlebars / pedals etc keep trying to get in the way!

    If you want to have a play with the settings then there are some online simulators that can help with the basics of getting the right exposure balance between shutter speed, f number and iso.
