Hi all, I'm new here and just finished making the stock B'Twin Triban 520 that I bought as a lightly used second hand more suitable for touring: Changes made: - Vittora Voyager Hyper 32c tyres - Racktime Lightit Touren Rack with Agu Ventura (front) panniers on it - Shorter (60mm) stem for more relaxed position - 11-32 cassette for lighter climbing - Cartridge type break pads for better braking - Shimano PD-M520 pedals with B'Twin 100 mtb shoes - Bottles in cages, saddle bag, cable lock Next week I'll be putting the setup to the test on a two week supported tour in the south of France with my dad

Fully loaded for self-supported camping-touring: I love this bike! And I couldn't care less about the bottles & cages haha, as long as the colours don't clash it looks fine by me.

I can't see the pictures...Is it only me? Photobucket are trying to force people to upgrade to paid accounts and are removing the free hosting. I got an email today, so my photos will probably disappear soon too
