This blog has moved. This blog has re-located to. Saturday, 3 December 2011. Second-hand bikes can be a great way to get a good bike at a more affordable price. The downside is that you get a bike which has been set-up according to the preferences of its previous owner. When I purchased the Brompton. Back in February, it had been set-up with obscenely high gearing, a 50-tooth chain-ring with a 13-tooth rear sprocket. With the Sturmey Archer. Left crank, with the original Brompton.

Whilst the price of the C-bag was enough to make me wince, it is a high-quality product and has served me well since then. However, circumstances change and I now find myself in need of more carrying capacity when using the Brompton. So I took the plunge and purchased a T-bag. The T-bag (completely unrolled) next to the C-bag. The dif...

Upper Thames Audax | Adrian Fitch's random rambling
https://adrianfitch.wordpress.com/2014/11/02/upper-thames-audax-2
Adrian Fitch’s random rambling. A bit about cycling, a bit about genealogy, a bit about radio but mostly a lot about nothing at all. November 2, 2014. My third successive year riding this event and my slowest so far. Started at 7:30 and finished at 17:00, so not a bad overall time but only 35 mins of this was spent stopped. Barely enough time to grab a ham and cheese sandwich in Bicester and cup of coffee in Bampton (I bounced both controls). Next event: South Bucks Winter Warmer on Dec 6. Fill in your d...
