Already got one @rwm1962 from that exact link!
If any of you retro bikers have an elderly brass stove you wish to recommission, I can only suggest you use the above link. His level of knowledge is astounding!
Thanks to the Fettlebox my Monitor is roaring like it did back in the 50/60s.
I cannot get out of my head how difficult it could be to make one of those clamps that attaches the stove to the frame for carrying. I just like the idea.

I don't tend to carry a lock, or if I do then a very small zip tie lock at the most however we usually have a longer (but still thin) cable lock between three of us and just lock the bikes to a fence, or to each other in a pile. Though my bikes are not cheap or that tatty they probably just look like an old bike to most. I do tend to ride with a couple of others and camp away from others in quiet areas mostly, that cuts down on the need for extra security.
My plans aren't yet finalised. If with friends riding around Cherbourg in June, with our wives on e-bikes. It's something I've been urging my wife to give a try as she isn't the most enthusiastic about the effort of riding. It' will be very relaxed with long lunches.
I'm hoping for a repeat trip to Scotland, certainly some unfinished business on Islay (plenty more distilleries!) plus there is a nice easy coast to coast route along the Forth-Clyde canal which looks fun. My second son looks to be in St Andrews all summer and I will try to visit him too.

Bikepacking rig fettled & tuned for the summer. 2002 Orange P7. Sticky rear mech overhauled, new limit screws on front mech (swapped for grub screws). Gutted to find the XTR m952 middle chainring delaminated & corroded. Grannie ring corroded as well. Same but 2nd hand, excellent replacement crankset fitted. Put on a small Alpkit bar bag. I don't like big bags on the bars hence the front rack. Thinking of getting an Alpkit Stingray frame bag. May also go back to hydraulic rather than cable disc brakes. Got it's old Hope Mono's I may overhaul.
