Much as I like my Bianchi Volpe, I wouldn't recommend a CX bike for the proposed trip. lasalope still debates "is it worth it to spend an extra few hundrer bucks to get the seemingly better tiagra", so expensive bike and accessories are not practical. Recommended Surly Long Haul Trucker is probably the reference bike for a big trip like that. would be the better choice, particularly with 26" wheels. Noted "preparing to camp for a few days somewhere". Now if you tour SEA, a CX bike would be highly recommended. Cheap food and cheap accommodation are plentiful wherever you go. Cooking and camping out isn't worth it. BTW you can get ROHLOFF 14 speedhub over hauled, or touring wheels rebuilt in Bangkok.
