Does anyone have any ideas about building a touring bike. Some of the bikes that are sold as 'tourers' seem a bit over priced for what they are (steel frame, mid-range mountain bike drive chain and racks all for 2k). I'd like to try to put something together maybe. Would love to hear fro  anyone who's interested in building something..

Looking for advice for Touring Thailand/Cambodia or Vietnam.

My partner and I are looking to tour one of these three countries either this year or next year and would love some tips/advice/links.

Bike the Earth are currently in Brisbane. They are on a journey from Melbourne to Rio, to arrive for the Earth Summit. They are peddling the message about the need for a socially just, environmentally sustainable and a spiritually fulfilling world. Check out their website www.biketheearth.net

I found out a few days ago that a colleague from work, Ron, does a bit of touring, and is off again next week to Tour the south island of NZ for 3 weeks. Touring is something I would love to get into in a few years time when family commitments reduce.
Ron published a tour journal from his tour around Tasmania last year and pointed me to a cool site full of touring journal I hadn't looked at before.

Here's the site:

and Ron's journal is here:
