Hi guys,
I would like some help. I like to go touring in New Zealand at the beginning of next year and I don't want to ride on this crappy frame anymore: https://www.lfgss.com/conversations/267453/?offset=25#comment12614351 .
At first I was thinking about buying a nice 29'' touring bike like a Velo Orange Piolet because I want to be able to have fat tyres but I don't like to spend so much money.
Now I'm thinking about buying a second hand Koga Randonneur frame, this one:
Will it be a stupid idea to put 650b wheels in it so it will be more suitable for unpaved roads? And what kind of brakes and rims can I use for this? Any info is much appreciated!
Paging @edscoble
Changing cantilever brake to be able to use 650b tyres would be very difficult. Very few choice but I think there are some mini v with longer than usual adjustment for the brake pad.
