Very good review of the Neutrino. I've stumbled on this in a quest to find something easier than lugging a 50 lb. S&S bag around airports and reaching an assembly point. I also agree that disc brakes are not helpful in packing or weigh management. The S&S system still seems the best for extended travel touring. I'm settled on 26" wheels, a quick mountable OMM front rack, and a 1X10 drivetrain to make packing easier. I also use an cabin overhead case to carry the rack, my saddle, a couple empty Ortlieb panniers and the drive chain. Clothes and tools that may be problematic with the TSA screeners go in the bike bag. If my coupled frame had horiz. dropouts a fixed single-speed setup would be really neat for easy flyaway trips. But I can do a freewheel and tensioner with two brakes.
