This is a good question. Chain width not matching sprocket spacing, and/or shifter mismatched to cassette can lead to skipping across gears.

All good suggestions. When I've had these issues it's often cable tension being out.

Lovely bike. Great pictures. Hope you are fully recovered soon.

That's stunning. A perfect mix of classic and modern.

It's a 58cm. I'm very happy with it.

Hmmm. Nearly a year. And in that time a few changes. I found an unused Sora BB, double chainset and derailleurs on eBay and decided to swap them in for a wider gear range. And then decided to rebuild the wheels with mainly double-butted spokes, 36 front and rear (with plain gauge on the...

Simply superb! Love it. Thanks for sharing.

Excellent. Will reply to your PM.

A few books that I had passed on to me, have enjoyed reading and would like someone else to appreciate. These *should* all fit into a box to post at just under 2kg, and happy to send for cost of postage. Cheers, Dave.

Stunning. I like everything about this, including the scenic pictures. Nice work.

Lots of good advice in the comments. My 2p from doing similar kinds of distances would be... Rear rack that puts the bags way back a good idea. I also like a front rack to balance things out. Not too bothered about the extra weight. Carradice are good panniers. And I like volume - half empty...
