Epic!

Indeed. A great use for an old bike, proving(should it need it) that new isnt always better

Re: Re:

All the spares I carried (extra brake pads, cable and brake cables, etc.) were donated to the shop that bought my bike. I also carried a spare folding tire, but I brought it back.

So you sold your bike to a shop instead of donating it to needy locals? Kinda ruins the story for me.

Oh, those young people with reading comprehension challenges on anything longer than a tweet. Quote below from the same post you got your quote from:

In our destination, Leh, I was planning to donate the bike. However, getting spares is not easy (the place has no road access in winter), so my donation would maybe create more troubles to the new owner. Instead, I sold the bike to a guided tour company that rents bikes to tourists, for 60 EUR, and I donated that money in Delhi to Salaam Baalak Trust (http://www.salaambaalaktrust.com), an organisation that provides shelter and a chance for street kids, and also organises tours for tourists to see the everyday life of street kids, where the guides are actually former homeless kids now earning a living as young adults.
