I'll look at them to make sure of what I want, but at this moment I'm pretty settled on using a touring frame. As for the wheels, I am planning on using the wider tires like I have on my hybrid now. Maybe something skinnier; I'm not certain just yet. Certainly not the ultra-skinny racing type wheels, though, because I do want to think about going bicycle camping/touring.
