I think the above posters are missing the point. You have a titanium road bike that you can't in any way blame for you not being the one pulling in the front of your peleton and a bike (with an hour or so of work) that can be converted into an able tourer. Congratulations. Not many can achieve the best of both worlds. Yeah, it cost you. Titanium is expensive.
Sure you can be happy touring with a crappy bike, especially if you pride yourself in being ignorant of the benefits of riding a bike of quality.
