6 Weeks and I'm ouuuuttaaaaa here! If Eastern Europe doesn't exist any more I guess I'll have to goto Spain. If Europe doesn't exist any more I guess there will be bigger fish to fry than a bicycle tour. I'm optimistic though!

Don't let war stop you...
Good looking ride, that should be pretty fun. What's your planned ride?

Love it!!
Can you share a packing list/breakdown? I've been gearing up for this season (tent arrived today!) so definitely looking for inspiration
Plan was always to have a bike that I could take the bags off and enjoy in a place, rather than a super heavy slow touring bike. It'll also take fat gravel tyres.
I really cant get it much lower weight than that what with sleeping in fields like a savage etc I'll do a kit list soon.
Plan is vagueish, leaving Scotland 20th April, ride to Newcastle for ferry to Amsterdam. I'm going to see Tool in Budapest 24th May and I'm doing an UltraRace starting in Banja Luka, Bosnia which begins 10th June. Onto Montenegro, Kosovo, Macedonia, Greece...maybe to Turkey? Its hard to tell how everything will go. All part of the adventure.

I have the Core jerseys already, like them alot for fit etc lost 10 kg too so they're even more loose n chill.
Yup of course the zip ties, lube (ProGold Pro Link) etc. Sun cream on the road. I reckon I'm taking some old jeans I will hack the legs off when it gets warmer.
Birkenstocks...no. if the necessity for sandals arises I will cross that bridge but I ain't takin em.
Keeping in mind that I can pick stuff up and lose stuff as time goes by.

Wow, you are an animal. I take the presta valve stem covers off to save weight
I’m gearing up just to do some lightweight day trips into the Olympic mountain range foothills near where I live on my CX/gravel bike. Still searching out routes and figuring out what’s the minimal amount of gear I can bring with me.
I remember at my old LBS one time a woman in her 90’s rode in on one of those! She had hand painted little flowers all along the frame/fork, she even had on a matching Skid-Lid!
My 1983 Cannondale ST-500. First year they made bikes and first model they made.
Funky railroad station headtube badge.
Lucked out and found this thing in mint condition and all original. Took of the toe straps for my own safety though.
Nice ride GC...! What a time capsule
I had a Cannondale handlebar bag from before they started making bikes. I remember that little logo on it (like your headtube badge...). Regretfully I laid it to rest a couple years ago. (it was pretty badly tattered, but I should have tried to fix it...) Fond memories.
