This was the section I am waiting for.
Have you guys thought about using an electric bike with a solar trailer?
Why did you add such a dome translation? Really bad, what a shame.
AMAZING video ,you two are machines!!!
Hi, what model of inflatable sleeping mat do you have now in warmer climates?
Wow, such a great adventure!
Same here… I have been waiting for this!😅
Hello Peyman, I love your creative, low-tech approach – you always seem to find a use for recycled materials! This adventure is unlike anything I’ve ever seen, and yet I’ve followed dozens of cycle-touring couples. When it comes to comfort, that’s my top priority – which is why I chose a swan-neck frame, a vintage bike with rim brakes, front suspension, 3 chainrings and a high gear ratio for steep climbs on the 7-speed rear cassette. I wouldn’t swap it for anything else except a vintage motorbike from the 60’s 🙂 That said, I must admit it makes me question switching to new bikes mid-journey, especially when you already have the best available. May these Gravel bikes hold out until the end of the trip (with at least one rear wheel change along the way;) I would have liked to know the dates of your stops so I could get an idea of what the weather conditions were like that year. Bravo for your resilience in the face of the cold, and “bon vent” (at your back) for the rest of the journey^^
Löytänyt teidän kanavan tämän 5Athlon-sarjan myötä. On kyllä hyvää viihdettä 🎉 kiitos teille!
Hi U2, so glad to see you on bikes again (sorry Sailor!)! Amazing Video!
Can you please keep updating us in the drop bars?
I have tried them, but find straight bars much more versatile and safer for hand positions with added inner and outer bar ends. Also much easier break set up!
Fantastic insight into the bike building part!
Can't wait for your next video 👍
All the best, Frank
Redshift drop bar grips really are best! Super nice comfort upgrade over long distances. Also, crossing Europe during winter must have been pretty grim 😀
Hello payman and sailor.i want to announse that i bought a touringbike hope to by some bags a pad and a slepingbag soon. I followed your advise and bought one that has a bitt beafier tiers! It takes upp to 3 inch! And has a pinion gearbox and son front hub

❤❤ lovely video
Thanks again for a lovely video! Cool bikes by the way 🙂

wtf is a purpose of it?
if you really need to swear don't censor it
