Re: Retro MTB Touring.
Crikey, tha's gorgeous. Love the seat stay arrangement. Bet you're looking forward to touring on it
One thing I've not seen any mention of on this thread: bike security. I am assuming people are taking locks and such with them? ( Had too many bikes nicked not to be a little paranoid about it even in the middle of nowhere )

Re: Retro MTB Touring.
My biggest worry. Got a 110db alarm for it. Will trigger if you move the bike. Plus locks. Trouble is good locks are heavy.

Re: Retro MTB Touring.
That's what I was thinking: the weight, but a necessary evil I suppose :-(

Re: Retro MTB Touring.
Yep a D lock and a cable that goes through it. Sold secure kryptonite thingy. Should be enough as I only plan to nip into shops or pubs to order.

Re:
Just started a bit of light overnight touring with a mate last year, first was from York to Whitby - camping, tent on one and majority of heavy stuff on the other (2 sets cycling gear each, night on the town gear , locks, puncture kit and a couple of sausage rolls).
All on some retro rides .....
It is easier to book a B&B and have a nice beers - shower & bed at the end of a ride sometimes tho, nipped over to Grassington earlier this year and I can honestly say after that ride I'm glad we didnt camp, would have been too much weight for the trip, and I didnt fancy setting up a tent!
