The saddle tilt?do you ride it like that ? something tells me this is not a Perfect fit for you in the 1st place..


I surmise: A) It's just a bike you got for cheap. B) and you want to do some bike tours ..

step 1, the bike has to be comfortable to Ride all day, get up the next morning, ride further,

and keep that up for a Fortnight. B does not, necessarily, follow A.

so your touring plans may have to be transferred to a bike that you can ride all day Upon.

Thinking outside the box of course..


How big is the Whole convert this Bike for touring Budget,
,you would anticipate shedding, quite a few C notes , out of the wallet ..

1 if the wheels are tight , clearance with a 27-1.125" perhaps build up a set of 650B wheels ..

Rear Frame spacing 120? An Intewrnal gear hub is quite wide range, such as an SA 5 speed

a chain tensioner Using the old RD would be fine, and a Triple crank

or just a Double with a big Jump so the difference is decent. 24~ 42 perhaps?

I have looked at LHT, BD windsor and TREK 520, didn't really like any of them.
Explain Why, SVP?
