May be some rough roads so you may want thicker tyres, plus it depends how much you plan to carry?
Unconventional for sure, but not impossible.

Definitely thicker tyres, and I'd be planning on packing as light as possible for a couple of months. I live on a boat, so space is at a premium - I really can't be buying too many more bikes. My only other prior tour was South Africa by fixie, after looking at distances on a map with no contours - I will accept that this was foolish.

I'm going to cycle Central America later this year, Mexico to Panama - do we have a thread on C Am anywhere? utfs'ing doesn't throw anything up.
Also, could I use my old Look roadie for it, or is there any reason why that would be a bad idea and a specialist touring bike would be better?
