My Baby!!!

Here she is folks! This is the bike set-up I'm going to use for my ride. The bike is a Novara Safari. I bought the bike used for $425 at an REI garage sale. She's outfitted with Avid BB7 disc brakes and Sun Rhyno Lite 26 inch rims. I'll be swapping out the seat and changing the tires before I leave, but the rest of the bike will remain as you see her here. The trailer is a BOB Yak and has a 70 lb. weight capacity. I'm hoping to fit 99% of my gear in the yellow bag pictured. The trailer attached to the rear axle of the bike (not hooked up in the picture to the left.)

First two pictures--click to enlarge.
