Our World Touring Bicycles Review - 2 Years on the Road

Wow. This video does really helps me in selection of components for my future touring. Keep it up guys. Stay safe, enjoy your ride.

The best thing about both your bikes is that you travel great distances on them. A great adventure!

Thank you Maudi and Eric, learning so much! 🌄

You guys are super cool. I love your no frills, warm, down to earth manner. Love it! Remionds me why I ride!!! Dont stop riding!!!

Great video, I love the fact you are you basically built your own bikes!

Nice to see serious round the world cyclists not spending a fortune on hub or pinion gear bikes.

Makes me so happy to see you guys back on the road!! :D may the road rise before you!

Very good video and explanations. Thanks for taking the time. Take care and stay safe, Al

I would like to add my thanks as well, it is encouraging that you use perfectly normal everyday equipment and concentrate on the things that can let you down, like the headset. As there are no off the peg touring bikes at the moment I used a Boardman gravel bike changing a few parts and have done many km of touring but it is comforting to see you guys - the experts - are not spending fortunes on equipment either.

I admire your setup on components and models of bikes, very sturdy for extended riding in all terrain. I can understand why you sit high being tall riders so your in a more vertical riding position with high stem, something I noticed many Europeans utilize. I tried that position using a trekking bar but found pushing a bike up a hill was very difficult as I have seen your problems as well. I have a Surley Molko bar now installed and not as high riding position, makes pushing a loaded bike up steep grades easier, a bit of less wind resistance as well.

I like your style both of you! Nice!

Good bike set up, very comfy handle bar, I was amazed with your bike frame its durable and strong, thanks for sharing .

Three years ago, when I saw your video clips, it was shocking to me, your bikes are the TANK, heavy tall and long. Now I understand the reason why. It's really helped out the selection of parts for my touring bike, SURLY LHT 2014 model (second hand bike as like your). Stay safe in your hometown, see you someday on the road of somewhere. Thanks a lot.

thank you for this, I look forward to my bicycle tour!

Thats gr8 ! This info will help me to buy my bicycle in future . You both are awesome

Glad to hear that the KOGA frame is doing well. I've been in the market for a KOGA World Traveler for some time without luck. I think I'll have to get it from a dealer in The Netherlands now as I had so little success trying to buy it from a Swiss dealer. Ok, guys, continue to keep us up to date with your adventures. Best to you both from Richard in Atlanta.

I love your videos. Really well done. I've been a cyclist for more years than I can remember. When they designed men's and women's bikes years ago, I think they messed up. The men's frame with the straight top tube is dangerous for us guys. I call them, "Nut-Crackers" 😜. For all the accidents I've had, it's a wonder I was able to father two children. Thanks again for all of your awesome videos. Still trying to get through them all.

you guys inspiring everyone in this world

Great to see the bits of your bikes. I was looking for an old Giant mtb to change it in to a touring bike 👍

You can adjust the nose bolt on the Shimano B17 saddle and that will take care of the "slack" in the seat. Thanks for your wonderful videos. We spent a rainy Sunday discovering your channel and watching your neat journey!!
