Question.  Why rim on the front and disc on the rear ?
Just wondering as the front is the more effective brake.
Like the colour !

Fork 5 & I already owned the Thorn A719 dyno-hub wheel.

Hi Julio,

Yes Thomas was new from Thorn to my spec.

I have an affinity with the wilderness, because my work is people intensive.

He went to India in February (which is not), now that Doli has arrived I have to be a reasonably good boy this year.

He is going cycle camping for 2 weeks along LF 1 from Calais to Helmskerk in August.

July & August 2018 Iceland, which is the primary reason for buying him, because I want to get into the inertia because by all accounts its stunning.

Yup.  I was there mid June to mid July this past summer.  More at this link.

But every year they get something like 30 to 40 percent more tourists than the previous year, so hurry.

Ok fine Paul !

What do you mean " along LF 1" ?

You went to India with the Nomad  ? Which places have you been ?

Lf 1 is (excuse the pun) one of the Long Distance waymarked European cycle routs. It forms part of the longer 'North Sea Cycle Rout'.

See.

India was the southern end South Kerala & Tamil Nadu provinces, but by no means all of either.

Once I get my act together, I will put up a new thread in the Cycle Tours section
