I've actually never toured before so I don't know. If I were to guess I would estimate 3 to 4 days ??

When I mentioned traveling with my bike 3-5 times/year, I actually meant bringing my bike with me when I go on 4-5 day trips for work, not actually touring. Sorry for any confusion.

And as far as a "deal", I could get the frame/components for close to my bike shop's cost.
