Touring Bike
Bonjour à tous les passionnés, Hi all bike riders
I have a great one for you, can you help me?
In a word, what would be the ideal bike for rough roads touring? easily availible in eastern canada?!
I presently use a converted old, but great quality mountain bike(slicks, hard nose, cantilever brakes). It has about 15 years of age, and all the upper-end parts were switched to low quality ones, thats ok for day-to-day riding.
Thanks,
Lars

Also look in the touring forum (wealth of information) or on Crazy Guy on a Bike web site.
Let us know how it goes.
