Nice day today and as work is a little quiet, I took off for an attempt at a route which in my mind has assumed epic proportions, especially one long, slow climb on a gravel farm road about halfway through. I chose the Jake because it just seems to be going rather nicely at the moment, and set...

Weird country that this is, when I last logged a ride it was freezing cold and wet; today, four or five days later, it's calm, sunny and 26C. I set out on the Jake for a 40km loop with about 440m (1,440 ft) climbing, on a mixture of metalled and gravel roads. Had to abort a run yesterday due to...

Having celebrated the arrival of summer on my last ride report, I set out today in 8C, windy weather. The winter clothing, toe warmers, gloves etc. that had been ceremoniously folded and packed away were all pulled out and pulled on. Very uncharacteristic weather for October here -- last night's...

Finally made it back out on the bike after nearly three week's hiatus due to consecutive annoying health issues. Attending a wedding for overprivileged nepo-kids in Bali, the Missus and I both contracted the dreaded 'Bali belly', on the back of which we then came down with flu, probably due to...

A sighting of the rare-as-hens-teeth Thomson 'set-forward' seatpost in the wild:

That is a very tiny pic

This is a riveting read -- I like the idea of pampering an undistinguished frame out of sentiment and nostalgia. Let us know how it rides!

A few years ago I saw an MTB version being used as a delivery bike by an office courier in Singapore. The design must be pretty robust.

Prices do look very reasonable!

Here's another 2000 'non-catalogue' Kilauea like the one Pip mentions upthread -- for sale in Canada for a tasty CAD 40. https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/23925871257077414/?ref=search&referral_code=null&referral_story_type=post&tracking=browse_serp:0fd9e086-d44c-493c-b429-7fed861237cc
