Is Singular a guy who lives near Cheltenham and did he ride the Cotswold Corker a couple of years ago when it was so snowy? Grub and Mal Volio rode that year, and manotea broke his cranks.

Long shot, I know.

I have replaced my Ribble frame with a Sabbath September frame.
Meet 'Ugly Betty'.



Named 'Ugly Betty' due to the missus's reaction on seeing the frame for the first time - 'Ugh - Thats ugly'!

Oh no - Andrij has got a road bike.  There's no catching the bugger now.

*makes note to book a place on Andrij's wheel well ahead of time*

Nice bike  :thumbsup:

And here is mine in the process of being built (by me  :o ) ...



Yes, I know the mudguards need moving closer to the wheels and I know the chain tension leaves much to be desired.  Work in (slow) progress.

You flatter me!

I won't be worth following until I get used to this beast.  I hope to use it for an Audax some time in April.

Congrats Andrij  :)

You are going to notice so much difference with that compared to your usual steed - the heaviest bicycle I've ever lifted, I think  :)

All that building up your strength on a heavier bike will make you a blur. Once you have stopped scaring yourself silly that is. Looking forward to being towed along by you.....

A good buy and very good value for money. I have just replaced my Ribble frame with the Sabbath September due to me buying the incorrect sized frame, but I thought it was a good frame.
may I ask how the 'extention' pictured in front of the bike is connected to the bike?

Looks like a Topeak Bar X-Tender mounted vertically down from the stem. The pivot is then at right angles to this moving the mounting bit forward.

Ta Greenback. Looking at the link explains it. Good idea, I think I will get one of them.

Greenbank is correct. There's a thread in the Accessories part of the forum about it if you'd like more info.

I'll be up for that in a couple of months although mine won't be blue or Aluminium... :) :) :)

My new longer-distance Audax set-up.

Instead of a bar bag (which I never liked using) and a Barley Saddlebag (not quite big enough to stash overnight food rations as well as clothing for mixed weather conditions) I thought I'd try a Rack and Rack-Pack.

This is a Creek2Peak Rackpack on a Tortec Ultralight rack.  £40 for the pair and seems about perfect capacity-wise.  If I can avoid filling it, I may use it for shorter rides but I tend to carry too much so I may revert to Barley to avoid doing so

The Jury is still out on the Topeak TriBag (small bag behind quill-stem) as my knees clip it when I'm climbing out of the saddle.  More of an irritation than a problem)
