    Garage Treasure - Claud, Oliver, Saracen, Moulton

    The owner is quite small & more of a road/offroad tourer. He's a friend of Tony.

    Garage Treasure - Claud, Oliver, Saracen, Moulton

    Anything in particular? Just seen him tonight & got a bag of small items to sell but will be deciding on bikes soon I believe. I think a 52cm Bob Jackson frame is first in line.

    Ortlieb 25th Anniversary panniers

    Look universal front or rear. Unused. Given to old bike industry journalist friend of mine who's selling off years of accumulated gear to raise money for Marie Curie. That 25th anniversary would be 2007. What do you think these are worth?

    On balance, I still am not a fan of e-bikes (previously known as ‘I just don’t get E bikes’)

    Meanwhile cars can be driven at crazy speeds way over the limits.

    Work bikes

    Haven't used this Macpac backpacking for a few years but couldn't resist taking it out a few weeks back. This are my current work bikes. Both Orange P7's. The ebike is a 2001 & the other a 2011 P7 Pure. The ebikes getting the most use at the moment due to my decrepitude!

    Show us your e-bike

    Under the Western Bypass bridge, Blaydon. Aye, rain doesn't stop play. I have a clear plastic bag goes over the controls & display held on with laccy bands on standby in the pannier. No idea how water resistant the setup is.

    Show us your campervan, caravan or rv thread

    Bought this van 2nd hand (with no VAT!) in 2016. Plain plyed out courier van for taking the lad to MTB races. It was then insulated & shelved out for tools, helmets etc with a a couple more windows & extra row of seats so we could take his mates. In 2019 we had it converted into a camper as...

    Really bad rat bikes

    Me too & I reckon an Orange is the perfect brand. Rather than paint I think I will eventually partially rub a steel frame down to bare metal & leave it out to rust then keep it treated with boiled linseed oil like the truck in this vid. I've seen rust effect vinyl wraps on some cars but real...

    Orange P7 Info

    Certainly not on that vintage but it was a later Orange colour. Not seen one myself until I saw this one on ebay today. No disc mount so suspect it's around 98. No P7 decals on top tube but has the giveaway diamond bottle bosses. Pics for reference once the ebay link expires...

    I don't get why some people don't get ebikes.

    I don't use mine recreationally - yet. 61 with extensive foot surgery & ankle replacement over last few years & now pretty severe plantar fasciitis. I'm often totally knackered after a day on my feet - retail 3 days a week. If it wasn't for the ebike at the moment (aye, I built it myself) I'd...
