We see many people touring the Coast on road bikes.. in the summer.. 2 headed out from here tuesday.. (bikes shipped in)

I own an RB 1 *... I toured on something else.. personally ..

* there is a threaded hole in the rear dropout.. bikepacking bags need no racks anyhow,, & I have fork tip eyelets..too.

Trans am competing bike tour folks all use road bikes minimal packing.. minimal sleep too..
