My 18yo daughter has decided to become a long distance cycle tourist - starting with ten days wild camping in the Highlands and Glens of Scotland. She has no experience, equipment nor does she possess a touring bike. Her mother is not keen. I, on the other hand, think it's a fantastic ambition and want to give her as much support as possible.
Since she's starting from scratch and also has to buy a lot of kit - rather than buy new we're on the lookout for a good used touring bike. Here's what were after:
47 to 49cm frame in steel (531 or ChroMo - not fussed). Racks front and rear. Drop bars - ideally with bar end shifters. An Audax bike would do if it has decent tyre clearance. She's a tiny petite girl, so never going to stress it.
Old is fine. She's not brand sensitive and we're not too worried about condition as long as it's serviceable.
If you have any other unwanted cycle camping equipment for sale - anything considered. She needs panniers, a bar bag and other odds and sods.
Thanks
Mick
