I'm planning to take my Croix de Fer, but it'll need a couple of modifications I think.
Firstly I'll need bigger gearing, I think the easiest solution for this is that spa cycles touring crankset. It's square taper but all the hollowtech 2 options seem a bit specialist.
I've also got a metal fork that I'll attach so I can run front panniers. I've got a set of Carradice Super C front and back in the shed which should work. Not sure if I'll need all that capacity, but it's always nice to have spare. I think if I could get it down to just front carradice + the big super C saddlebag I have in the picture I might try that, but I'll need to do some trial runs to see what it's like.
