Am I a dumdum for planning my first tour with my Marin Fairfax 1 commuter? The plan is Amsterdam to Milan over 3 weeks via Eurovelo 15 and 5. Swiss alps could be a slog but have read about train and bus options to bypass the difficult climbs, if necessary.
Pic is missing modest upgrades for Schwalbe marathons, inner bar ends and ergo handle, full frame bag, and added eyelet on front fork to hold Nalgene water bottles
