Cheap Shimano one sadly, but given the circumstance, I wouldn't worry too much about maintenance since the weight will definitely be under 30kg (including luggage), the bike itself weight approx 10kg.
Will replace the cheap KMC chain with a Wipperman one when the time come.
Unlike the Cranes, I'm going to bikepack instead as it made a huge difference in term of ride quality.
Ed, how many bikes have you got now? has that new bike replaced something?
Replaced this;
Which I'm now selling for £150, including full carbon fork, seatpost, headset, stem, crankset (48t with 42mm chainline), chain (length's perfect for 19t), and front brake with koolstop pads, frame is 54cm.
All you have to do is add wheelset, handlebar/brake lever, saddle and pedals, bob your uncle.
