Long ago in a land far away (from Korea) I used to travel like this (1994-2001)
Then I found this...1994 Kona Explosif (Shock) and began to build a touring bike
Handlebar bag, Large by Ortlieb
Schwalbe Marathon tires, standard Kevlar durability
I built this Trek 6500 SLR series recently
Hayes Hydraulic brakes, tested and satisfying stops on 1000m descents
Shimano XT rim brakes and Tektro brake braces, a cable pulley
Wheetsets, Mavic Crossland SUP tubeless converted to clinchers
Mavic hubs require straight replacement spokes, note to self
Columbus MAX OR frame tubing, steel is really strong & light
Nice steel rack, not fancy, just functional
Shimano Deore LX caliper brakes and 9-speed shifters
Lizard brake braces and Shimano XT rim brakes, low maintenance
Trek 6500 springs to new life!
Groovy shapes and fast brakes
94' Kona Explosif setup for bicycle touring
Packing for demonstration, require waterproofs & missing a trailer!
2009 Koga-Miyata World Traveller, have this in cold storage waiting to travel.
