Sate my curiosity please: Which bars are you using with those Ergo grips? Fabulous looking bike too.

Great looking bike.  I've got the Ergon GR3s on my thorn comfort bars at the moment.  They work fine but the bars plus grips are a bit wide overall.  I'm expecting delivery of some Flat Track bars which should give me a narrower profile.  I'll be interested to find out how well they compare on long rides.

Whats the stand you have please ? One of those would be handy for stopping sratches on the car as I balance the bikes against it when we're camped.

On the topic of bars, I have some straight bars, ergon grips on my xtc, and i've been trimming the bars narrower and narrower. I prefer them that way for the commute and chucking it into the boot. Bust a mirror the other day when the bike blew over, so replaced it with a cat eye one from wiggle.

Its a click stand from America, works great.

Really nice use of the tonalities of black and white, Ian.  One sees it so seldom these days; makes me miss the old Tri-X pushed to ISO 1600 or so for low-light work.

Fine job, as always!

Best,

Dan.

hi

how do you find the Nomad unladen?  As a day ride bike, rather than a serious camper/expedition bike.

thanks

A good bike for winter commuting, feels stable even in high winds.
The marathon extremes do give some drag, I realised that when I was out last week with Dave on his RST.
Had to pedal to keep up with Dave on the descents.

Cheers

Nice picture.
I am about to take the plunge for a Nomad but would like more info on what it is like as a day by day ride rather than crossing China.
Maybe I am asking too much of the bike to do both but when i get back I would like to be able to use the bike for general commuting around town and country.
I know they weigh a bit but will thinner tyres help for when I return to UK?
Thanks
