  Although seems the Dawes Wildcat or similar can be build up pretty nice!

  Hey all. Thanks heaps for responses, been great looking through advice.

  Seems the Surly Crosscheck can be built up real nice with plenty clearance:

  I'm currently pedalling on two very same same bikes, a Mercian and Dawes both setup for touring.
  Trouble is they both only have a clearance for max 35's.

  I'm a big fan of the Rivendell lugged steel frame's & their clearance, not such a fan of their price tag + postage costs.

  Anyone know of frame builders out there building similar steel frames with larger clearance at a more modest price?

  We're setting off Monday to follow the Hirsch Paris route. Is anyone able to offer wild swimming/wild camping spot along the way? or are we likely to get chased down by an angry French man or lady?

  Actually any other must see/stop's along the way, we're taking it super slow maybe even 30k a day.

  Not too sure @joe95, best to call up - though I'd imagine it'll cost extra to rock up. We've booked our Newhaven crossing & wasn't complicated.
