Perhaps something like this?
Add a lock, helmet, bottle, bottle cage and mudguards, pump and puncture repair kit and you should be good to go.

In due course change the tyres to 35mm wide schwalbe marathon plus.

That’s how it goes. In essence they are telling you that stuff will break and you will have to pay to fix it. I can tell you that starting at more than your weight and now being ~4st less than you I have broken a lot of middle of the road bike components. Whatever you buy for your budget will requir...

What height are you?

622x 35 Schwalbe Marathon Supreme at ~80psi is very comfortable for me. I am about your weight. I have previously used 622x 35 up front and 622x 45 at the rear in Schwalbe Marathon Plus. (90psi front, 70psi rear). I run tyre clearances that others would not be comfortable with like 2mm each side of ...

Spotted a cheeky fox on Monday night. Right up beside the road.

XRF Analyser would settle it.

I was your weight and still am your height :D If you are in London you are welcome to bring my bike for a spin, I could pretty much guarantee it won’t buckle under you. Pick a bike that fits you for a decent test ride. If you have a big gut it’s going to be difficult to get down onto drop bars. That...

Brucey, Thanks for sharing your thoughts, much obliged. I’m thinking about this from an 80/20 (or even 90/10) point of view. I’ll do some more cassette spec scouring. I think I could do a proof (or disproof) of concept easily enough from old worn cassettes before committing real money to a mad notio...

The Patina of Use ..... be proud of it ..... :) +1 No ... the standard of the leather Brooks saddles has declined recently .... ever since the Italians got involved in the company if you want a decent leather saddle, look at the Gilles Berthoud .... they are quality and thicker leather... mine was ...

Evening all. I’m building up a touring frame with a 3x10 Shimano groupset. While playing around with gear-calculator I elected to go with 12-30 cassette mated to 50/39/30 chainring. I’ve got the option to go lower on that inner chainring if I’m struggling in the hills to say 26t or 28t. I’m gonna bu...

That chainstay looks remarkably similar to my FX7.2 which came with 622x35 originally. I run 622x47 schwalbe marathon plus with a very small clearance. I had to remove part of that bracket shown in the photo above. Mudguards and rear rack all fit ok too. If I can figure out how to add a photo later ...

You can pull back the lever and run the wires in without using the spade connectors.

A4 and 316 are pretty much equivalent grades. Given that the corrosion is only internal it may well be transferred material from the Allen Key used to tighten them, rather than the screw material. We use this vendor for A4 / 316 screws of various lengths and sizes. http://www.inox.ie/acatalog/Cap_Sc...

If you can find the shimano hub dyno already build into a wheel that’s your best bet. (SON is nicer and more expensive) Mine is similar to this and I have these lights for the last 2 years. No issues plug and play. For your front rack you might prefer a different front light mount. SJS cycles has a ...
