My adventure reading about your adventure started about a month ago when I rode from Landenberg to Newark on a nice Sunday. The ride alone the White Clay creek, first of the spring, took me to the two local bike shops, where I learned about your trip at WW while talking to the bike mechanic. In my youth, I toured Western PA on a fully load Le Tour. Even had a rack break once and splinted it back to life. In my 40ies, with the comforts of home, family and a great desk job, I long for the experience again. The first part of the journey though is to buy a touring bike. My hybrid mountain bike is not really suited to for the job. Your stories, videos, and pics are great, but I have not been able to identify your bikes. Could you share a description of each of your steel lhamas? Keep up the great blog. I take great happiness from it and await more. God bless.

Bike Types

Hey M.

I ride a 2009 Raleigh Sojourn. It has disk brakes which I love. I put the ram horn shape handlebars (drop bars) on, but I really like the figure 8 type bars that chris and mike have.

Chris rides a 2008 version of the same. Dan rides a 2007 Fuji Touring, and Mike rides a Surly (Long Haul Trucker, I think). Dan’s Fuji is not steel. I think it might be aluminum, and is holding up fine. He’s had a bunch of back wheel problems, but I think that’s from low quality rim as opposed to the frame. We all use Arkel paniers with front and back racks and handlebar bag. I had to get a new back wheel as well, from the heavy load and bad roads. Chris also got a new back wheel, but Mike hasn’t had any problems with his 26inch rims. The other three of us have 700c wheels. Any more specific questions, don’t hesitate to email me.

Daniel
