Thanks, here's another pic. My only mod will be to swap the hideous saddle for a Selle Italia Flite titanium.





 :o :o I hate you.  ;D That's a bloody nice bike.  8) One of my mates got a Team issue Colonago in mint condition a couple of years ago with Super Record gear all over it.

The Roscoe has sold. Could've sold it 6 times over. Only lost $180 on the original purchase price.  Second hand bike market is hot as at the moment. So now I just have to wait for the Marin.

Yep Yep. It helps that the 2021 Roscoe 8 is exactly the same as my 2020. No changes at all, so mine was still the current spec. Also they had a RRP increase for the 2021 so that helped a bit as well.
Cheers, Mike.

Well done, might be time to move some older bikes...

I'll fit the 2nd rack once I stop admiring my handy work :)

The rack is level. It is setup for an old school steel frame bike that has as a straight rather than sloping top tube. If I was going to store the BMC on it permanently you can move the arms so the bike is level.

Yes but did you notice the crank is horizontal and the wheels both have the valves at 6 o’clock position

That means the cranks aren't in the right position for the pic!  ::)  :P  :angel:

Picked up a cut in the tread of my Scwhalbe G-one speeds on a gravel ride yesterday  :-[
Too big for the sealant to handle so I bunged a tube in with a makeshift boot to make it home.

Any thoughts on attempting to repair a cut? It’s about 4mm long.

Opinions on cuts range from patching it from the inside and gluing the tread down to binning the tyre.  ??? ??? ???

What direction is it? A patch on the inside and glue the cut as well if the threads that run around the tyre aren't slashed would work. If it's a front tyre, take it off and use it for the rear.

It runs across the direction the tyre rolls.
The cut appears to be in the direction of the threads not across them so splits them apart not cut them.
Does that make sense?

It’s a rear tyre.....

Try a plug or 2, personally I'd bin it.
