My long distance thing with 47s and drops wasn't ideal
Essentially what I realised as well. I've done the 650 drops/bike packing thing a few times now, and whilst it's fun, it wasn't an exact eye opener compared to 700x38 or something. I have no need for a bike like that.
I want hench tyres and panniers and to ride at a speed I like. i.e dead ass slow.

I know I could have used it/something like it on my feeble attempt at bike packing trans Germany last year.
My long distance thing with 47s and drops wasn't ideal in combination with not that much legs.
