    Later than last year (10th may), so been expecting it.

    Nothing on the website or app yet.
    I've added a signature to prove it is still possible.

    It's got a yellow logo, of course you do. And you need a spare.

    And you can probably sleep in it, which I believe is what people in London have to do.

    Plus 1 for that only, does it have a pocket for the begging/dog bowl?

    "Eddy Merckx San Remo 76 Frameset
    Eddy Merckx took part in the Milan-San Remo race 10 times, winning it seven times..."

    I mean that's bloody outrageous. It shouldn't have been allowed.

    Of course you do! As others have already established it has yellow logo's. Don't think your Synapse Adventure would look properly clothed without one either....

    The 6ltr looks on paper to be a good compromise for longer rides where I'd tend to take a waterproof but also change of gloves, headwear, etc. The frame pack on my Arkose currently holds my Camelbak bladder and other bits and bobs, so would rather stick the waterproof and tools in the seatpack if poss. In the winter Id also plan to take a packable insulated gilet for roadside repairs, café stops, etc. Sorted

    Interesting L2R - would like something I can put some provisions in - quite fancy going out for a stupid early ride, and then being able to stop for breakfast (Summer time obviously!)
    Not thinking of a full fry up, but a flask of coffee, and some pastry based fair etc - would also want to put a jacket in there as well I guess, as will be an early start.
    The 10L seems technically better value is my issue.

    No. Just got his measure I think with cycling style. Anything of quality bought at a good bargain with yellow in. Then get two of them plus alternatives so you can pick the best and return the rest.

    Merlin have the 10ltr reduced from 64.99 to 47.99. The choice is somewhat academic as the 6ltr is now out of stock, though i have a dispatch email to say mine's on the way... :wink:

    'Sandals' ?! How dare you? Now listen, you stay away from my long grey socks or i'll chop your Marks and Sparks cardigan collection up with blunt scissors and stuff your pipe and slippers in your Ovaltine. So there.
