Bikes: Nothing amazing... cheap old 21 speed mtb

Built for short tours. Anything I missed?



Yes its a hybrid built from mix and match low end mtb/road components. I hate drops but like the feeling of a road chassis. Originally friction stem shifters modded to altus pods. Brakes are single pivot but work well enough. Built my own cargo carrying solution from an alloy rack and some bags I had hanging around. Running a road triple up front and a 7 speed at the back. If I can find an 8 speed freewheel cassettee that will change. 27 1 1/4 tires. Put my own blend of bar ends in the cockpit. Works great for 250km rides. Planning a 2 day 600km coast to coast and back ride in Korea at the end of the month.

She is heavier than my distance mtb but very comfortable. Rode 200km with a few good climbs and she climbs like a mountain goat. Running a 12v battery to keep my gps running. I think she is ready bar spme wider pedals. Anyone see something I missed? Never ridden two 300 km days in a row.
