The Bike


The Bike

  • Mercier Galaxy SC2 aluminum frame + fork (purchased on Amazon 3 years ago)
  • 700cc rims, Continental Gatorskin tires w/kevlar bead - my cousin has a pair of these and apparently hasn't gotten a flat with them yet.
  • Shimano Sora groupset, dual-pivot caliper brakes
  • Saddle: Brooks B17 imperial (in brown, clashes horribly w/silver frame and blue handlebar tape. Doesn't matter, I don't think bike touring has to be particularly pretty)
  • Low-rider front rack and rear rack
  • Panniers: Rear - Banjo Bros. saddlebag panniers (25 bucks on craiglist, what a steal!)                                 Front - 2 Nashbar individual panniers
  • Small side mirror 
  • Cellphone holder that attaches to handlebars
  • Small USB-rechargeable front light, red blinky in back
  • New pedals w/toe clips
  • 2 water bottle holders
