Oh I am listening to all advice with open ears!
I'm really worried about the frame that's all, as I have had a story told about someone compromising theirs doing a tour. I'd prefer not to buy a new bike, but am interested in work arounds. Now if these work arounds mean I have to spend as much money as it would cost for an actual touring bike than it makes sense to buy a new bike.

I know that the CF are stronger than I assume, but I don't know if they can handle torque from a trailer or even Extrawheel Voyager which looks inciting. I'm also concerned about my wheels being able to make the journey.
