Hi all
At the back end of 2013, a young man called Thomas came to my house to buy my Raven Tour. (Young to me - in his early 30s). In July 2014 he and his friend Brian set off to ride to New Zealand. They're now in Thailand.
They had to come back to the UK in September 2015 because Brain had a melanoma that need removing. He's clear and they're back on the road. Unlike the Brooks B17 titanium special that was on my bike when I sold it. It broke.
They have a blog - very well written and illustrated. Useful for anyone contemplating such a trip. Link;
