That's a great shout, I'll be all over one of those. Sorry for probably making you repeat yourself (new to the group) where and what are you riding?

*rack (damn auto correct!)

It's a fausto coppi Torino racer, I guess I could get the fittings brazed on, any idea on cost? I'm sure I could quite easily brace the race with staps from each side down to the wheel mounting point on the rear triangle to stop lateral swing.
The planned ride is about 3500km, so probably not to much sprinting involved, I guess I shouldn't rule it out though... -
Thanks dude, thats pretty much what I figured, its not carbon so I'll check out Chalfie/damo. I've got plenty to get so any second hand stuff going for a good rate would be welcome!

Hey guys, I'm trying to plan a trip to Moscow at the end of the summer (around early to mid september)> I've not toured before and was slightly concerned Id have to get a tourer in order to fit it out with panniers etc. However, Having seen some of the alternatives featured here, I'm coming round to the idea of doing it on my racer. Has anyone completed a similarly long tour with this set up? I'm looking to go through Scandinavia where I know camping is pretty well accommodated. The only thing I still see as being a problem is fixing a tent to the bike. I have seen these which are designed for a MTB http://www.evanscycles.com/products/topeak/quick-release-beam-rack-mtx-ec005811 would they work with a road bike?
I've been meaning to set up a new feed for advise on my trip, but as a new user, need to increase my activity, so apologies for jumping on this feed! -
hats off to Spartacus! Great position for Wiggo though, the way they were talking up Evans in the first half of his ride, I really started to worry. Great 3 weeks ahead mind.
Sounds like a great challenge, good luck!
