I cut down a cheap Decathlon walking pole to fit under the top tube. Cut the plastic handle end off and fitted a bar plug to make it neater. I'm taking a tarp and hammock but will use the walking stick as a tent pole in the event we camp in a campsite.
Cheap 8sp indexed thumbshifter converted to friction.
Splashed out on some nice SKS guards and Nitto bars.
The basket is a chopped down supermarket basket.
Sleeping bag and spare tube are in the alpkit dry bag on the saddle. Camping bits (decathlon tarp and hammock plays an inflatable sleeping mat) are in one pannier. Clothes and wash bag in the other.
It rides nicely, the bars give a couple of hand positions. I'm looking forward to trying it out properly.
