| Mar 8, 2015 at 2:34 | comment | added | ticket | The only thing i would spend money is saddle and handlebar. For the rest it's not worth spending. Save that money for the trip. Be adventurous, be spontaneous and plan as little as possible. For reference i have cycled Alps and Pyrenees with this bike and meet several good people who helped me with providing food, shelter and so on. I fell in love with that bike and i thought it was time to made him feel like one for a change and show him the world which it never saw it. If it's old does not mean it's useless. | |

| Mar 7, 2015 at 22:38 | comment | added | ticket | I went in shop for used bikes and by the first one i saw. I already went with this bike on several touring trips and i didn't had any problems with it so far. One day i'll cycle with this bike route 66 :D | |
| Mar 7, 2015 at 22:23 | comment | added | Lucile | That is damn interesting. May I ask how did you get that bike, and where? thanks a lot! | |
