Long Haul Trucker Time


I was out for a quick sail on Saturday and had planned to go for a cycle today, Sunday. Unfortunately by lunchtime the rain had reached monsoon proportions so instead the build up of the Long Haul Trucker has started!


 CoastKid was good enough to provide the tools, and the skills to use them, in exchange for biscuits.


That's a properly fitted crown race and FSA Pig headset, Tektro canti hanger and 3T bars on a 110mm stem.


Coastkid also showed me the pump he had bought for his cunning dinghy plan. Classy eh?


I'm off to order a Deore crankset and dream of better weather.

  1. Looks like that LHT will be built before too long I'm jealous I want one.

    1. Hi Mark, the build will probably take a couple of months as minor things like the mortgage keep getting in the way! You could sell the Whyte...

    1. Something like that but I'm not sure you can get a Pak raft for £20! Should be interesting.

  3. Good luck with your build! I have heard very good things about LHTs.
    Peace :)
