Every since I started cycling, I often imagine myself doing unsupported cycle tour like those adventurous souls which I read about at CrazyGuyOnABike.
So after 'bout a year thinking about it, I finally took the plunge and brought in a Surly Long Haul Trucker 700c 56' frame.
The Surly Long Haul Trucker is by far amongst the most reputable tour bicycles which season cycle tourist swears by around the globe.
Take note that it isn't going to be a fast and nimble bike by any stretch, so don't expect it to get you anywhere quickly. It will, however, promises you a very smooth and comfortable ride once you get rolling, and handle all the weight you can throw at it.
If you want to carry a lot of stuff while riding your bike long distances, you’d be hard pressed to find a better bike than the Long Haul Trucker. It starts with the frame, whose tubing and geometry were specifically designed for loaded travel.
