I have a Giant ATX 860 mountain bike with 26 inch wheels ,8 speed and STX RC gearing. It has a rack, Touring seat and clip less pedals. I have toured on this bike around New Zealand and Tasmania without any problems but it is slow. Now I want a true touring bike.
Should I just buy a new complete bike or could I get a frame with good gearing and cannibalize the mountain bike?
