I've always gotten good service from them without pressure.Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05323070439232848154noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-270553056978230950.post-88496946932974161552008-02-10T08:34:00.000-08:002008-02-10T08:34:00.000-08:00That's a nice bike.

I went with the Surly Long Haul Trucker. The Atlantis just wasn't in my price range.Doughttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09090802854306112252noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-270553056978230950.post-32766951238394688892008-02-04T14:38:00.000-08:002008-02-04T14:38:00.000-08:00Great bike!

And I can't remember if I mentioned this before or not, but <A HREF="http://sunset.spiralcage.com/" REL="nofollow">Spiral Cage of the "Those who look at the sunset" blog</A> has a Novara Safari as his backup bike. It was his main ride until he got a Rivendell Atlantis (lucky guy!)Apertomehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00148516503920019073noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-270553056978230950.post-4390747584430465592008-02-04T13:04:00.000-08:002008-02-04T13:04:00.000-08:00Looks like that bike is ready for anything.

But it does sound like you a few bases covered now.<BR/><BR/>Topeak makes a nice little compact tent specifically for bike touring. It even uses the bike if you want to add front porch room to your tent for gear etc. It is a one man tent. Packs up smaller than a basketball. Only around $200 or less.MRMacrumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01414173517957120477noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-270553056978230950.post-4205475744228254722008-02-02T20:29:00.000-08:002008-02-02T20:29:00.000-08:00I've always wanted to try a set of those bars.
