A touring bike must be, most of all, comfortable, and for this reason steel frames are the best choice, also because they are the easiest-to-repair ones during long solitary journeys and in remote places. To whom can afford it, I advice to take a titanium frame, because it is almost as light as aluminum and […]
Hi everybody, some friends of us are asking for some information on bike and equipment, clothing and alimentation for the Randonnée.
