I absolutely don’t need this bike. I have a lht for proper touring which works flawlessly and a 27.5+ ogre for off road fun and theoretical bike packing quests(only one night on it so far).
Liz doesn’t really need it either- troll for touring and mtb/bike pack(hugely versatile with just a tyre and mudguard swap) and a charge mixte for commuting.
Plan is to whack some sweeps on for winter if liz wants fatter tyres than her 28s. She’s had old mtbs before and always comfy on them. Sks would be nice(just sold a pair, d’oh), looks like it’s got clearance for the spiked schwalbes in the cupboard if things get cold.
Will slap a wald on it for now, we both have one so can pop it on if needs be.
I’m gonna wait for the dirt drops @Alb mentioned a few posts up and build it into an instagravel tourer. Between us we have 2 tubus rear and a tubus tara front pannier rack so all it’ll need is a little front carrier. Or if liz is running the tara on her troll I might get a nice front rack that’ll take panniers too.
All I need is new cockpits.
