amazing - and sound advice will post again once bike is built and will keep it simple cheers for now

A couple of month would be something... I've cycled for a long time but never toured and now in my 50's so am going to start with a week here and there in the uk with a mate and follow on into europe in may of next year - thinking of Sardinia but still planning...

really info everyone - thanks a lot

Great input - thanks gents

yes, dead right - so the frame choice is narrowed down to Orange P7 but there's also a possibility of a Team Marin frame/forks but finding technical spec on that difficult to locate I guess the only way to know if the frame is comfortable for distance is to ride one of the right size and then...

Ok - like your'e thinking!

Re: I'm most interested in the 'relaxed geometry' aspect of the frame which may determine its suitability for touring - what angles / tube lengths are we ideally looking for ? Thank you for the reply - much appreciated.

Hi all - I'm new here and wondering if anyone can offer some advice on the suitability of an early 1990's Team Marin frame/forks to use as a base for a tourer ? I'm mostly thinking about the geometry/chain stay length etc. and also have been considering an Orange P7 Any thoughts welcome Cheers
