seeking gear for x-county bike tour

[Mike Hempstead]

Hello,

 

My name is Phil Hempstead.  My friend and I are taking a semester off from college to ride our bikes across the country from Cape Cod to Oregon to raise money for Rock The Vote.  We are planning to leave the 3^rd or 4^th week of August.

 

I am writing to see if anyone in the club has bikepacking gear they would like to rent or sell.  We have money to spend on gear, but we want to see what we can get used first to try to keep our expenses down.

 

We would also be interested to potentially buy used gravel or CX bikes for the trip because we plan to do a mix of pavement and dirt.  We are both between 5’10” and 5’11” so probably a 56cm frame would be about right.  I do have an old CX bike I may use, but it is a little small and has cantilever brakes and tubular wheels.  If I do end up using that bike, I will need clincher wheels if anyone has a set of those to sell/rent.

 

For the bikepacking gear we are looking for handlebar bags, large seat bags, frame bags, compact and light tents/sleeping bags/sleeping pads and cooking equipment.  We are planning to go light with a bikepacking setup as opposed to bike racks.

 

Thank you for considering this.  You can also email or call/text me directly at:

Hey Phil,

I want to support your initiative. This is sooo important right now for this country, and also for the whole world due to the huge influence of US on this planet!

So, if you want you can have my bike for free. If you don’t want to ride it you can probably sell it to make some cash to help you buy the other things you need for the road! I also have a compact sleeping bag that I can give to you.

I put the bike on craiglist a few days ago and one person replied to my add this morning. So, I think you can easily sell it if you want to make some cash.

Let’s get lots of people to the ballots in November! :-)

Let me know if you are interested or if I should sell the bike for this person on craiglist.

All the best!

Take care on the road! :-)

Hi Philip,

I have a bike that might be what you are looking for! It is 5’1 and it can do a good combination of gravel and road.

I’m moving to Zurich and I can’t take it with me. The bike rack is very solid and I always transported lots of groceries on it!

I have ortlieb bike bags but I was planning to take them with me. I really recommend you to use bike bags. They will make your life easier on the road!

Let me know if you are interested and I’ll make a nice price once you are using it for a good cause! :-)

Best,

Luiz

Hi Phil,

I also have a set of rear panniers, as well as a rear rack.  You're welcome to borrow them.
