Since I’m off the coming months I want to make a bike trip from the Netherlands to Türkiye. If I only get halfway I’m also happy 🙂
What do you think of my setup. I travel without tent and plan to stay in hotels/hostels.
Second hand Specialized Sirrus A1
Added luggage rack and mud guards.

Add more bottle cages and/or a frame bag to centralize the weight. I use “chuck buckets” on the handlebars for my bottles and run a full frame bag; gives you a lot of storage and puts the weight central and low where you want it. Helps balance things out.
Otherwise, send it. Maybe take a few shorter trips first to iron out where everything goes. Learn from your mistakes, make changes, and enjoy the journey.
If you’re talking about biking on roads, I think you’ll get better advice in r/bicycletouring.
