I am a bike afficionado, i would love to get into bike touring, and i know some of you enjoy traveling by bicycle aswell. So lets share joy.
Currently i have a 49 euros bike (lame), rigid frame and fork, made of steel, 26inches wheels, i am working on doing some tweaking to it, will get some sleek road tires, oil it up, put a frame for carring rucksack and get on the go

ohh fuck dude, i got a USPS frame from before lance got really big. all the parts are custom too, set my friend way back, but he needed some money, so i gave him 100 for it. i LOVE IT. also, my dad and his friends are all gearwhores, so i know my fair share, he owns a peugeot, a Felt, and a racing frame single speed fixed gear. I hear tell in PDX fixed gears with no breaks is realy popular, which in my opinion is really fucking STUPID, but what can you do

uhm yea, theyre really low maintenance, but i would rather have a single speed with a free wheel, but thats my preference

where the fuck was i when this topic was made?? Bicycles are the greatest invention since vulcanized rubber and the printing press! I myself have a Trek 5200, but i really haven't investigated the other parts on it, since i bought it off of my father for $100, who, by the way, is a supreme gear whore. But my favorite company is probably Peugeot. I love their frames

You should use some old bike chain to secure the seat, you can put old innertube around it so it doesn't scratch everything up. All you need is a chainbreaker to get it on and off, but it does take some time to do.

any sources on doing makeshift panniers rack for bicycles, specially a rear one?
Btw what wheel size do you guys usually ride, i ride 26 inches, maybe a bit small for road touring, but they are aways easy and fairly cheap to replace.

yeah thats always an issue, but if i have a faster pace than someone i will just slow down and maybe have a nicer view on the landscape, or i say to meet me in the next intersection where i rest and stuff.

I just rode my peugeot one speed from amsterdam to budapest, through the netherlands, belgium, france, germany, austria, slovakia and hungary... and had a great time. Anyways, got that bloody 'big rock candy mountain' stuck in my head more than a few days in a row and messed around with a new bike dedication.... haha, here it is 
One evening as the sun went down
and the bikes were all unloaded,
Down the path came a rambler peddlin’
And they said folks I’m-a-touring.
I’m headed for a land
that’s far away
And the miles I’m not a-countin’.
So ride with me, we’ll go and see
The Big Rock Candy Mountain.
In the big rock candy mountains,
the wheels go round and round
Where your big load feels like feathers,
And the hills always go down.
Where you reach the top without a sweat,
but the vistas take your breath
Where your wheels come true,
and you never need lube
The tyres stay new,
and the drive train too.
In the big rock candy mountains.
Where your fuel bills all are zero,
and you’ll never see a car.
There’s tandem bikes
and recumbant trikes
Where it’s never a race
at a natural pace
In the big rock candy mountains.
Where you’re friends with all the locals,
and the k’s just slip away
With an energy snack,
on a nice smooth track
and the wind at your back,
In the big rock candy mountains.
Where the campsites are all bramble free,
and the smoke don’t sting your eyes
There’s plenty of trees
and you never pay fees
Moss for a bed
and mosquitoes are dead.
In the big rock candy mountains,
your bum just don’t get sore
Where bright and shining rainbows,
light clouds that never poor.
Where each new day,
you choose your way
You can ride your bike,
Till the fall of night,
In the big rock candy mountains.
(whistle)
I’ll see you all this comin’ fall,
In the big rock candy mountains.
