I've noticed a few people mention the c2c forum in relation to touring as a place to pick up a bike. Would that be this one (http://c2c.freeforums.org/)? Doesn't seem to make sense as there seem to have been exactly five ads in the classified section in the last two years. I'm looking for a chariot on which to embark on an adventure and have vainly searched the depths of ebay and this very site.
