Below is an overview of gear I’ve assembled and have used on various trips, and whilst my setups have varied over the years, these are the most frequently used configurations.

I don’t count grams but I do like to avoid bulk and keep things simple, opting for reliable, functional products for long-term use, with the weight, durability and dampness of a low to medium weight setup.

I haven’t gone into finer details, but if you’d like more info, let me know.

I’ve developed a strong sense of support for the British bike industry, and have built a stable of respected frame manufacturers that cover most genres of riding. 
I like classic lines with modern updates, and enjoy riding metal frames.
