Next week I'm going to try and ride to Plymouth from London in two days, about 120-130 miles a day, nothing serious.
I decided to take my Gangsta, it got me to Dunwich in good time (6 hours, 30 minutes) despite being quite flat.
Was worried about the panniers catching on my heels, especially when using those cheap tortec rack, luckily with a good panniers (Carradice Super C), this isn't the case (one of the eyelit have a stripped tread, was using duct tape to hold it during the DD);
You know after the DD, I now know fully why Scott find his Gangsta great to ride, despite being very stiff, it was surprisingly comfortable, even on 25/23c tyres.
