Title says it all really.
I have done some quite long rides on the bike, including a 100 miler that took me about 6 1/2 hours. So I and the bike are up to the distance (I think).
But would it/me handle a longish tour? I am think a LEJOG at some point (in aid of cancer research in memory of a mate who died of cancer).
What changes would I have to make to the standard bike?
What are my best luggage options? (I currently have no luggage carrying capacity apart from a very small saddlebag for essentials).
I probably wouldn't be camping but using youth hostels / bunkhouses / B+B's.
Is it worth spending money making it a better tourer or just buy a cheapish 2nd tourer from ebay land etc.
