patches Posted June 2, 2014 Posted June 2, 2014 Getting weight off my back and onto the bike for R2R... I used to have one of those... or something like it... http://image.ec21.com/image/sunsail001/oimg_GC03728929_CA03941969/Bicycle_Triangle_Frame_Bag.jpg Mine was blue. I never had a cool Reebok seatpost clamp though. Funny how things do the rounds. That must have been about 16yrs ago

I've been using a triangle frame bag on the HT I've been riding but have decided to use a dual sus so needed a slightly different shape. When hauling yourself, a bike and 20L plus of 'luggage' across the country whats 'cool or not' kinda goes out the window. The less of the 20L I have on my back the better .
NotSoBigBen Posted June 2, 2014 Posted June 2, 2014 Picked this up at the shop on Saturday. Love it. Comfy and roomy. And - ja, ja, NSBB - it's better than the Giant PVC one! Dude a Checkers grocery packet would have been better than any Giant one Tumbleweed 1
CAAD4 Posted June 2, 2014 Posted June 2, 2014 Would love a review of how this compares to the Niner fork please... When the Martini Ritchey is done of course. Edit spelling If I remember correctly, the Marshall had a Ritchey fork on his P-29er initially, but found that the Niner was a better ride... I tihnk there was a pic in the single speed thread.

I tihnk there was a pic in the single speed thread. True that, it was the older Ritchey fork, I rode Attakwas with that fork.Between those two I prefer the Niner, the new fork I believe is different.Nathrix prefers the Ritchey fork, he has the older version.

GrantRH Posted June 2, 2014 Posted June 2, 2014 Turn your stem around and see that Epic fly. Trust me do it Done, just need to testride is now, was too hungover yesterday.
Wyatt Earp Posted June 2, 2014 Posted June 2, 2014 I have the older Ritchey fork, have always wondered how much (if any) the Niner fork would be on my bike. The Niner fork is light, just over 600 grams.Any rigid fork becomes hard after 40 k's though
Selous Scout (aka LegTrap) Posted June 2, 2014 Posted June 2, 2014 My latest cycling related purchase was for a package tour to watch the TDF 2014.Looking forward to ticking this one off my bucket list. Spoke101, Ryanpmb, Brogue and 2 others 5

At 40km's you start wishing for some squish! The lightness may help my wheelying ability, all the years of riding, and I still cannot maintain a proper wheelie... Wyatt Earp 1
Vangar Posted June 2, 2014 Posted June 2, 2014 Actual pictures to come (after the first dirt ride ) but finally decided to bite the bullet and invest in some wagon wheels : http://www.silverbacklab.com/upload/2011_website_SILVERBACK/1980/SPRADA-1_1050.jpg nickcza, Spoke101, in10sive and 1 other 4
bullet77 Posted June 2, 2014 Posted June 2, 2014 Nice bike man, I almost bought one but common sense prevailed over going into debt for a toy. I still wish I had pulled the irresponsible trigger. Oh well at least my wife thinks I did the right thing. Enjoy the bike.
