Is this it? This is my bike du jour, which I actually won for fundraising during Climate Ride. But I'm skeptical it's the right bike for this trip because it will be really hard to add front panniers -- and, if I do, it will require removing the axle when changing a flat. Also, I'll have to change the gearing to make it much lower. And the wheelbase is a bit short, potentially making the bike "twitchy" under a full load. And it's straight (not drop) handlebars, which could be tough with those MT headwinds. And so on...
Bob's advice is to get a real touring bike, the right tool for the job, so to speak, so I'm researching....
