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
