I bought a 2009 Look and had 2010 Rival component's put on it and the bike is a great bike. I didn't think I needed my 2007 Roubaix anymore so I gave it to my son about a year ago. His back started giving him trouble so he just gave me the Roubaix back. I told him, lets play around with the fit a little and get this figured out. He said he didn't want too, so I have the bike back. I really feel bad about taking it back, but it sure is a nice bike.

I was looking for another bike, but I wanted a steel bike. I have a touring Jamis that has 631 steel and it gives me a great ride. It was a Coda Elite and I put drop bars on it, with bar end shifters. Velocity Fusion wheels a back rack and a handlebar bag. All I really need is a set of panniers and that bike would be set to go.

I really cant go touring with the Look. It's basically set up for sport riding and doe's the job well. I was wondering if any of you, did long distance credit card touring with the Roubaix.
I thought I could put a large saddle bag on it and maybe a medium size handlebar bag on it as well.

I got to thinking about selling the Look and the Roubaix and getting a Gunnard, but I think I would take a beating, so I'm kind of in a spot. Not a bad spot, but I thought I could cut back and end up with a pretty nice bike, for long distance and loaded touring. I was wondering what a Gunnard would cost set up for touring. I have read about them, but I haven't gotten any prices together yet.

I also thought about selling the Look's frame and fork and using the parts to build up the Gunnard. I'd have to see how much I could get for the frame setup as well.

Do any of you have any thought's, on what I'm kicking around.
