Pegoretti set-up for touring

[Ciavete]

I'm a lucky owner of a Responsorium. Thinking of riding it from San Francisco to "The OC." Any insights on a touring set-up & program would be appreciated! How to set-up the Peg to carry gear. What gear (won't be camping). Routes. Bike friendly places to crash. Or anything else!

Thanks!

Saddle bag with a support??

Carradice or one of large Rivendell bags.

Saddle bag and maybe a handlebar bag would work if you are not going to be camping. clothes on the saddle bag and everything else in the handlebar bag.

just bring a credit card and toothbrush. in most cases you can fit them in your jersey pocket.

Check out Revelate bags, you should be able to fit what you need in a combo of his stuff. If you went with a large seat bag, a handle bar bag, and a frame bag, you should be good.

For gear, off the top of my head, when I credit card tour I take:

-3 sets of shirt/shorts/socks. One to ride, one to dry, one in case its too wet to dry that day
-camp suds/Dr. Bronners to wash clothes
-1 fleece, on and off bike
-1 pair convertible pants
-1 wicking t shirt (off bike, emergency on bike)
-2 pairs underwear
-tooth brush, tooth paste, comb, razor, etc.
-sun screen/lip balm
-1 rain coat/wind breaker, one and off bike
-1 baseball hat
-wallet with at least two credit cards
-tools
-tubes, spare shifter/brake cable, assorted nuts and bolts, zip ties, duct tape
-pump
-lock
-light sneakers/sandles for off bike


You probably really like your bike, and are looking forward to riding it, but you would be happier in the end if you bought a used touring bike, front low riders and bags, and either a rear rack and rack trunk, a handle bar bag, or a Revelate seat bag. Buy used, have fun, sell all when you are done. (Or keep it for your next tour).

You should be taken out and drawn and quartered.

Make sure to post pictures and send some to Dario! He loves getting shots of his bikes in action.

Relevate/porcelain rocket/dill pickle/swift industries...any decent bikepacking gear will work perfect. I'm excited to see the bike all set up for touring!

Tee-hee...I think it depends on 'support' and amount.

I would think not a lot more than a day ride, add flip flops, shorts, tshirt for after ride. Light multi tool, tube, patch kit. Moots tailgator or equivalent, no need to get real loaded, IMHO. One small bag is all.
