Pangea on the Great Divide?
This is a question mainly for those of you who have done all or some of the Great Divide Mountain Bike Route: I'm planning on taking 2 months to ride this route and am wondering if my CoMotion Pangea is up for the task. I've ridden on dirt roads with the Pangea and, as it's currently set up, I don't think I could do months of dirt road riding - it rides too much like a road bike. I know others have done it on drop bar bikes, and, I'm aware that CoMotion built the Pangea with dirt-road touring in mind. But those who have done the divide on drop bar bikes have either had a hell of a time or have been racing. Would you ride a Pangea? How would you modify the bike (suspension fork, trekking or straight bars?) for this specific route?
