A Catalyst in one of its favourite environments by the looks of things. The weather looks surprisingly cooperative aswell!

And one of my favourite books along with Brave New World.

Lovely pics Beastboy59!

Handsome-looking bike!

How d'you get on with the front panniers on the fork? Were you able to put much weight in them without affecting the response? And what's the bungee around the rear for?

Hi,i carry mostly food and cooking in the front panniers.On this trip the weight was 6.5 lbs on each pannier with approx twice that on each rear.On the road,low riders are hardly noticeable but offroad can be tricky not least because they snag on the greenery.The Karrimor panniers were purchased in 1990 and the bottom location is only by shock cord .The bungee prevents them swaying.
