Yeah, there's some janky looking bikes. Like Cleaverbikes dude, it got him to the end, but looked like a heap of junk!
I'm gonna have as good a kit as I can afford, but seeing as I'm short of work/income recently, it's going to be tight. Once I'm out there, that won't matter anyway. And you're right about fit. I've had a bike fit done on a course at The Bicycle Academy, which was very useful, and at least I understand fit better, and can mitigate some small issues. After 6 days, I'm going to hurt whatever though. I just hope I don't get arse blisters!

So hamazing. I wish you the very best of luck!
Weirdly, I wouldn't worry too much about fit and comfort. After that many miles off road, the bike is going to make you into whatever shape it wants you to be in, whether it fits or not! I also noticed a lot of people appear to be doing it on stuff that doesn't exactly look tip top!
Spending a shit ton of money on something like this would take the shine off it, for me. It's a bike ride after all! Adventure!
You're going to have an amazing time.
