Hi all,
this is my first post here, hoping to get some advice on my bike.
I haven't been bikepacking before, hoping to take my first trip next summer, and am slowly getting together what I need. Right now i'm just focusing on my actual bike.
I have an old schwinn steel road bike frame which has been upgraded to a 10 speed veloce campy group set. It's got some tektro quartz long reach brakes. Longer stem, like 110mm, not sure the bar size but I think they have some slight flare. Currently also have some spd pedals on them, and a 38 tire on the front and a 35 on the back.
I'm trying to get this bike as close to a gravel set up so I can bike pack on nicer scenic trails and not in the road. Luckily I have clearance for 38s, but not sure how everything else will do on non road trails. I'm hoping I can get some advice here on whether this will work off road/any changes or upgrades I should make to help improve my experience.
I hope this is the right place to ask this, and I know in the very end Ill just need to take it on some gravel trails to try it out.
Thanks so much!
