Agree with you Kerley the cx just does not cut it when I turn off the tarmac, I know its all a compromise I just haven’t decided which bit I am willing to compromise on yet.

Best thread today :-)

+1 for spa

Noodles for the gear cables may solve that problem.

hi Malvern Rider pretty sure thats to long for me but if you have time measure from the centre of the top tube cap to the centre of the seatpost as close to horizontal as you can and ill know for sure, the seat nose measurement will vary according to seat.

Can any one recommend a good wheel building book in electronic format?

So are we saying escgolf is a planet x outlet ?

I will measure in the morning.

Great shame I can stretch to a 56 top tube but 58 is to long 5.9 short back and bent spine.

love the dale tourers i had the flat bar ultra and regret selling it the forks are sooo good.

like the look of that malvern rider whats the size?

Whats your size I have a tourer sat in the shed that i mail ordered to large for me can be had cheap in very good condition i bought it new,to fit size 5’/10″ up.

Baseball cap and or Buff uv.

Yes gone to fully rigid and narrow bars and longer stem but where I live is very flat, my bike does not need down hill type configuration.

front mech is wrong if your using road bike shifters.

Same thing happend to me when i got a new bike and moved to a hilly area be carfull mine took a long time to settle down and not until i took it seriously and treated with meds and ice.

Ring Spa with debit card in your hand and buy what they recommend

Does any one have a voter breakdown by religion race and gender that would be interesting information?

charmouth forest is nice especially if the bluebells are out,then lamberts castle and conneys castle follow the road to shaves cross for lunch if the pub is still there, from the shaves back to ryall with beer on board is easy and a nice day has been had.

HI any one comment on the sort of mileage they get from a 1.4 petrol?

I would love to see the correspondence between PX and the manufacturer of the first batch because I am sure the first batch was shite and PX must have told them so.

I looked at repositioning it but if I move it lower then when I change to the middle ring it would touch the outer ring with the outside of the cage.

so when in the midle position it only just clears the big ring if that makes sense.

The front derailer is a sora unit could that be the problem I have read that 9 and 10 speed derailers have a slightly different shift width ?

Devon is gods country..

love the bike what is it?

ahh to high or to low perhaps ill double check that

Ok nearly new its not my main bike and i would rate the componets as excellent condition.

All drive train parts are nearly ndw and all bought for this build so no one part older than the rest and have not done many miles.

No mud involved.

It has happend back pedaling also.

Such a good frame i can never understand why Onone dont revamp it with some more braze ons it would be a real classic then and so multi-purpose.

bumpity bump

might I ask are you a BIG guy?

I was planning to do Eurovelo 6 and maybe down the coast of France to the canal du midi,But a case of Flu has wiped my fitness out and left me weak and shaky maybe try to do it in the autumn now.

beg steal or borrow one before you commit money some just cant adapt to the different position and drops etc you can burn some money like that, or buy a cheapy old bike on ebay and see if its for you.

Topeak rack and luggage to suit

10 quid a tire give em a try.

I worked hard all winter to stay fit 30km a day 5 days a week.I have lost 2 trouser sizes in weight which is good but also all the muscle and fitness i nurtured all winter, today i rode the bike maybe 3km and was completley shaged had to lie down for 2 hours after… :(

You could from Roscof head inland and pickup the Nantes Brest canal thats quite a nice ride.

I have done some of it its mainly tarmac some road lose gravel pretty easy stuff.

I dont know how this company is getting away with it..

Just bought A mk2 04 crv for the same reasons and am frankly unimpressed fuel economy bah, comfort bah, interior load space bah think a berlingo would have been better.
