  • Lol at the price of that Stanforth Kibo.

    You could pick up an old Muddyfox, Saracen etc for £100, drop £200 on an xt transmission groupo, maybe £100 for a framebuilder to add the 3rd set of bottle bosses and brazeons, £100 on racks and still have £1k left to spend on the tour you want to take it on!

  • Ha, very true. Met the Stanforth Guy at Bespoked, talked a good talk, went on about how they're going round the world.

    I finished the conversation by saying that didn't think I'd ever want a 26" tourer (plenty of benefits, but I'd look like a giant on a kids bike) and he just couldn't get his head round it, did have a good chat about Paul Cantis though.

  • Depends where you go touring. I want to go ride the pamir highway. I'd take 26" wheels I think. Otherwise I'd never ride 26. So benefits as you say.
