Main routes should be fine after around 10am. No snow in Dunfermline.

I will see what it's like about then, could actually do with getting the hybrid serviced and on the road for 'winter' like i was meant to do months ago

I have a project in mind for the summer to get my old MTB fitted with winter tyres, rack and mudguards for days such as these. Needs pedals, new chain, new cables... new everything in fact!

My plan is to turn the hybrid into the 'ice' bike, possibly get the triban fixed up and use that as my 'winter' bike and keep the giant for the warmer dryer days

Would love a steel, disc brake commuter bike but the wife may me if I dream about new bikes before the wedding

New ride planned for next month, want to see no excuses

Like mine you mean...? I have 3 (summer, winter, commuter), all that's missing is the ice bike.

They are nice, but EBC only had them in white when I bought my Whyte, ironically.

I do like your Whyte, depending on job and distance I may well need something 'proper' that can take panniers etc and these bikes defo fit that bill

I'm in the market for a front pannier rack, and 700x32 wheels... and...
2 and a half months isn't long enough preparation when you're as lazy as I am!

This insult cannot go unpunished. Dunning, tomorrow, noon.
Bring a bike, and if possible, borrow some climbing legs.

Forget the legs, bring ice skates if you're going up Dunning.

Whatevs, I'm not scared. It was properly icy (actual ice ridges and everyfink!) the last time I was up there.

It's no so much the going up its the coming down that would give me the fear.
