    All the time - but as I buy everything second hand I just resell the oops-purchases

    I bought a strange 1x conversion ( which involved the previous owner filing off all the wire/shifter lugs front and rear - making reversion impossible) for a song because the frame was a beauty (Reynolds stainless steel)

    I was going to use it as single speed and sell the wireless rear mech but fell in love and it is still as I bought it

    I saw some pics you posted - you should put them up here too. Looks great.

    I will do Eroica one day but I would need a bike that qualified - and that means more space as I cannot live with another. So it will have to wait

    I buy everything second hand. It's good ethically and better economically. So I wear the super expensive stuff - I just pay a pittance. As an example I have just bought a Perfetto Gillet for £25 - RRP well past £100

    I was worried about that on last return from Belgium. Eurostar made loads of special announcements that I could not bring and dairy products etc. whatsoever due to Foot and Mouth outbreak. And UK personnel were checking apparently

    My bike, my shoes, and my boots which had literally been in both Dutch and Belgium farmers fields for Cyclocross - no one even blinked even though everything was caked in mud

  5. After 12 days #cycling from Basel to the very eastern point of #Switzerland 🇨🇭 (643km) and pushing our bikes over the mountains we left the country via the green border. Suddenly we stood in a new country. It was a very short visit in #Austria 🇦🇹. Approximately 2hours and exactly 10km later, after the #Reschenpass we entered country nr. 18: #Italy 😎 🇮🇹

  6. We cycled along the #Vennbahn, an #abandonedRailway route that stretches from Troisvierges Luxembourg through #Belgium to Aachen in Germany. During our journey, we crossed the Lac de Robertville in #Wallonia, Belgium, adorned with a striking metal badge depicting the iconic Wallonian rooster symbol. Earlier that morning, we had breakfast next to the historic railway hub of Born and pedaled across an ancient viaduct.

  7. In the north of #Luxembourg, we pedaled across the national border with exactly 12,000 kilometers on the odometer at that very moment. From #Troisvierges, we wanted to take the train to the capital Luxembourg for dinner and then return. Unfortunately, the train was out of service. And so, after a total of 16 kilometers and 2 hours spent in Luxembourg, we were back in #Belgium 😅

  9. After a week break from #cycling, it was nice to feel the wind on our face again. Since we cycled the wonderful Velodyssee (Eurovelo 1) from La Rochelle to Biarritz last autumn, we decided to skip this part by train. From La Rochelle, we briefly followed Eurovelo 1 before turning north towards Mont Saint Michel.
    Here in the #countryside in #France, we see many large fields dedicated to agriculture and we were amazed to see a huge field with withered poppys.
