i’ve been cycling the mediterranean coast the last three weeks in spain with a 20 years old steppenwolf. i crossed the nevada and got komooted on some hiking trails, it’s been an adventure. although i am 1,88cm the frame with 26” isn’t too small for me, or at least i don’t have unusual pain. i want to set for marocco next week and feel very confident about the bike.i had one flat tire already with the new tires, they don’t have puncture protection over here.

You have ortlieb panniers…
You don’t NEED a good expensive bike, but it definitely makes the trip more enjoyable when you have quality gear that was personalized to you and your style. Also everyone has a different definition of “expensive”, so its not really a subjective term. If your definition of expensive is $10 then good luck finding a bike, but if you are willing to spend within the $1000 range you’re more than set. It all depends on what you define as expensive really…
