Got my bike built up last night, and took it for a test ride today. Pretty happy with it, and I think it will handle anything this trip might throw at it. I am going to swap the shock for a modified RP23, with pedal-platform, and no brain. This should be much more reliable. Rode about 45km of steep climbs and DH descents today, with my bag on (but no saddle bag), to get an idea of what it's going to be like.
It's not your typical touring bike!
