Re: Most comfortable touring bike?

The custom Peter Mooney frames and forks go for $2350 so you'd never get a bike for under $3000 using that. I'd look for a lugged frame for $1500 or less and build up a bike. |

Re: Most comfortable touring bike?
I tried out a number of different bikes from road to touring and finally settled on a mountain bike. I took the Gary Fisher Advance and put some slicks, a solid front fork and some other modifications. I liked its upright riding position a bit more than the road and touring bikes. Plus it was really tough and could take the hard day to day abuse of a tour.
I put 10,000 miles on it doing a number of the Adventure cycling routes the last two summers and had no major problems. Other than general maintenance I never really had to work on the bike, and it never broke down and left me stranded. Overall, I was happy with a basic mountain frame, and it left me pain free for months on end. Strider |
