Bikes...

I'm scouring ebay for bargins - maybe even bikes to use for 'Jogle'. The idea is that if I see something suitable for one of us and I can get it under £150, I'll buy it; see if anyone wants it cost like, and if not, fix-up look sharp, sell it on no bother...

So far I have me eye on a nice Boglator-esq GT Force racer, a sexy mother Cannondale racer with mad skills components and a couple of built-for-the task manly Dawes Tourers...

I think we'll be okay without a lot of kit - mainly just rear panniers, better to load the back as it doesn't effect your steering and keeps a low center of gravity (front bags and handlebar bags are really clumsy by comparison and cause mad drag which we should try to keep to a minimum).

I like the fact that most of the websites from people who have already done Jogle or Lejog (herefter referred to as HEROs) show their bikes as being pretty normal sluggers...

Here be my ebay list at the mo:
