My 'new' Paddy Wagon. It's been fitted with new wheels, forks, brakes, seatpost (just managed to break the clamp, anyone know where to get USE spares?). I've just replaced the saddle with a Charge grey one, need to fit new tape and ideally new brake hoods or perhaps - I'm thinking - new levers on the top bars instead.(how do you insert images )paddywagon | Flickr - Photo Sharing!
My new Van Nicholas Yukon. It arrived just before Christmas, and since then has been sitting in my bedroom (I have had the builders in until last week, nowhere else to put it!)If weather permits, I will be taking her out on a short jaunt to Richmond park next Saturday, then probably a DIY on Sunday.When it arrived I was amazed by how light it was, so I have made a deliberate effort to get it audax-ready without piling on the pounds. Instead of the rear rack and rack-pack I used last year I got this little Ortlieb saddlepack, which I reckon should be good for up to a 300km. After that, a small Carradice will probably be required. 9.5kg as pictured. Just need to add a front light.

Well that's the more blunt way of putting it but as usual he's dead right.
