Hello All,

Just looking for a bit of advice. Got a trip in June hopefully and I'm looking at getting myself a touring bike or building one and wanted to know of any good frames or if any body has any frames that are looking for a new home maybe......

Sorry its a little bit off subject but as some of us out there use panniers on their commute thought it would be a good place to start.

Cheers

Woody

    Absolutely no idea. :)

    Might be worth asking these chaps too:

    Or Road Gear & Know-how - lots of knowledgeable folk in there.

    For secondhand, Google for any recycling centres or cycle charities near you - some take old bikes and renovate them.

    What's your budget?
    Carlsberg don't make cycle clothing, but if they did it would probably still not be as good as Assos

    I would probably go for a Alu/steel road frame with 700c wheels. Flatbar and adjustable stem - MTB groupset with index shifters (xt or something)..........in fact, I would modify this bike that I built for commuting as it is light (8 ish kilo's) and comfy.
