Touring advice, one bike or two?

And when it comes to touring triples, by far the best choice is the Sugino XD600. The 110/74BCD is the most sensible format for touring, allowing lows down to 24t and highs up into the 50s. MTB cranks are geared too low for most folks' tastes, and the rings are too small to work with STI-compatible FDs. I love the XD600. It's *so* cheap and it also makes a ducky compact double replacement if you use a shorter BB with it. The 110/74 gives you a really nice selection of chainrings (unlike 130/96 or some of the others). -- Dane Buson - "Besides, I think [Slackware] sounds better than 'Microsoft,' don't you?"
