  • Get Croix de fer. If he likes that. And is doing proper touring (but if he's credit card touring, get a carbon road bike and use bike packing system, way better)

    Get some nice wheels built.
    Put a low trail fork on it if you want.

    I over took roadie douchbags on mine, loaded up with panniers touring. Both up and down mountains.

    It's a good bike. It's the rider that matters.
    I really miss mine, was a great everyday bike.

  • What fork is that on your old cdf?

    Such a good looking bike.

    @owl I guess the main thing is getting him to try out a few. Personally I'd always err towards making sure the bike is fun when you're not touring.

  • Thorn low trail.

    If I were doing it again, i'd just get one made. It was/is a big heavy/mass produced.
