Bike Friday whilst on a tour around Brittany last year. Salsa Anything Cages hold sleeping mats. Non BF rear rack with stays shortened to get centre of gravity right down, used rear panniers this trip, but working on using front panniers on rear and cutting down on gear. Bought originally for it's folding abilities these have not been used yet, though this year we intend to cycle The Way of St. James so will be folded for train journey through France. Wife has Airnimal Explorer another very capable folder.

Interesting - that's a switch from the drop bars EBC Revolution to straight bars, I see. Looks good.

The trusty 1990 Super Galaxy bought for a modest £350 off a forum member several years ago (you know who you are: thanks Jerry) in both lightweight configuration for a B&B South-North transit of Spain, and in 'full camping' mode for the Grande Tour de Alps.

Surly LHT in the Lakes - Hardknott or Wrynose, I forget which. Either way I packed way too much...


That's the cairn at the top of Hardknott, looking down to Cockley Beck. You were lucky to get a clear day! This is the last time I went over there on a bike:
