Hi Folks,
I'm looking to have a bike built for Audax/Sportif use but with the potential to be used for light weight touring. I expect to limit touring to paved roads for anything up to two weeks.
The geometry will (should) accommodate the different styles of riding. However I'm uncertain about the wheels. When touring I expect to go light weight; titanium coffee cup and one-man tent etc...). My test outings of two/three days indicate that I can get by with a pair of panniers at the back. Although I'm also considering a Y-Frame (www.carryfreedom.com) for something longer.
Given my past experience (competitive cycling) and the intention of using this for sprotifs, I'd like advice on appropriate, responsive wheels?
I'd been considering Open Pros laced to DT Swiss 240s hubs using Sapim CX-Ray's.
