Hi,
So I JUST got a road bike. I've crossed over from mountain biking. And, I love it. So here's the
question...
I'd like to start taking longer rides. 100 miles plus. Also, some multi-day trips. Like San
Francisco to Santa Cruz to LA. Or, San Francisco to Portland.
Can I do this on my racing bike?
It's a used 1999 LeMond Zurich with a 53-39 to a 12-27. From reading some old posts, I realize that
weight/gear might affect the steering and the short chain stay might cause my feet to hit rear
panniers. Also, no braze ons.
Can I get one of those seat post racks and pack REALLY light. Maybe stay at cheap hotels along the
coast? Will any type of pannier fit?
If anyone has any ideas or experience with this problem, I'd appreciate some help.
THANKS!!!!
