And today I did......

Sounds a great idea Velo. I dug out an old frame at the weekend to build into a rough stuff type tourer with similar jaunts in mind. I'm going to build it out of parts from the junk box so nothing fancy, but i do want to keep it light-ish. I'm thinking fast rolling 1.5 cross type tyres on 26" wheels, extra rack mounts brazed onto the frame and forks, high rise stem and drop bars, brooks saddle etc.
 
got out on the GT today - just a short run, half road and half farm track - magic :D :D :D then off to go-outdoors to get some new base layer. Just been playing with one of my pressies - it's one of them powerball thingies which is supposed to be good for grip (had 2 ops on my hand so grip aint the best) - was actually quite enjoyable so we shall see if things improve. has anyone tried one? did it work?
