    Today's Ride

    I've done this type of ride myself (not the route, but the lack of prep and higher expectation of my stamina!) The funny thing is, as months pass, you convince yourself that actually it wasnt too bad, quite enjoyable in hindsight, a bit of an adventure. And then all of a sudden you find...

    Dawes Edge 631 Tubing 99?

    Cool. Think another one of these popped up on here recently despite them being pretty rare. Not sure on the year but don't think your far off. 1999 / 2000 I reckon.

    What's in the box redux - Another blummin' bontrager

    How do you find the ride on those carbon forks? I run them on an Explosif but jury's out as to whether they are a bit stiff for my liking. Certainly feel less comfortable than the p2s on my Lava dome, but then again I do need to tweak the bar and grip combo.

    Kona Explosif 2006 spec?

    That's pretty much what mine came with! Certainly forks and wheels.

    Kona Explosif 2006 spec?

    I've got a 2008 and I think pretty similar. It seems they were available as frames only but quite a few shops bought them up and built them in various guises perhaps? Mine came with some fairly entry-level kit considering the usual Explosif standard.

    8Freight Cargo bike - restoration / project

    Get it bought!! No updates on mine (yet), still getting to grips with child #2 being born so projects have been on hold. Only thing I've managed to do is hand washed the canvas cargo liner, although it's still stained so more cleaning required. Should be getting back into working on the bike...

    Chilli con Carne - always better the next day.... and then some

    We make it at home with quorn sometimes. Providing it's seasoned well, it's absolutely spot on.

    Chilli con Carne - always better the next day.... and then some

    Dear lord, filthy! I make a point of trying the chilli con carne in every establishment that offers it. Everyone has a slightly different take. Great.

    MF Courier £50 - barn find?! Chorley.

    Sorely tempted after seeing this one: https://www.retrobike.co.uk/threads/1987-muddy-fox-courier-restomod.459926/ But I think it would be too small for me, plus other projects ongoing etc.
