>>1083072>>1083158>>1083159Thanks for the advice. I have been riding everyday since my post and I have noticed some things.
1) the biggest tires I can fit on my frame are 40mm. I have a bad back and need a little more plushness if I am going to be riding on gravel. My friend has a 2017 fargo frame he's willing to sell for cheap (he just got his Ti frame, doesn't need his steel anymore) would it be worth it to pick up the fargo or should I go with something that has suspension? I can apparently put 29+ on the fargo, my friend said that would be more than enough for gravel and fire roads, stuff like that. Opinions?
2) didn't like the atomica, I have wide sit bones and it seemed too narrow. I think I may go with a brooks b19 as that is a good width. Does anyone have experience with the cambium? the LBS guys are telling me the leather brooks should not get wet, and I'm thinking perhaps thats a bad trait for a touring saddle. pro v cons of cambium/leather. Anything else comparable to this style of saddle?
3) I mostly ride MTB and I generally use clips (crank bros) are these good for touring? I have been thinking about it and I cannot make up my mind about clips v flats for this trip. Advice/opinions would be welcome.
