thank's lads i do have all the lightweight camping gear and my thorn sherpa is well decked out with the best of everything tubus included.recently put a set of marathon supreams on her which made a big difference .
but im thinking do i really need a full on expedition touring bike with the type of touring i do.
this new dream machine would have to carry my 13 stone and probably another 30 lb of gear or near enough .
i came across a bike only today idwork cycles fantastic bike but i want drop bars besides it has roholff gears rather have something i can fix shimano.
