Hey guys,
Anyone into this side of the hobby? I'm considering spending a month or two on the road next spring, cycling the GR trails into France and across to Italy.
Is there a forum/website equivilant to BcUK I can learn a bit more about it? I need to do a bit of research before I buy a bike. ATM I'm thinking of picking up a standard 26" 'tourer' mtb, no suspension (maybe front shocks only?), and buying a drop handlebar, racks and spring seat seperately.
You seem to be able to get crazy storage on the bikes with panniers, too! LOVE how you can get drybag panniers, think I'll go with a pair of 40l which will be more than enough space plus a small backpack. Extra space means I'd be able to pack a bivvy as well as my hammock, plus a few other luxuries (netbook!)
If anyone has any advise/wisdom/experience to share I'd be grateful
