does it make sense to tour with an old aluminium bike?
Hi All,=
I know a lot of people says any strong bike is good enough for touring. but i think they mostly refer to old steel bike. I have a 2012 Trek fx 7.3 which is an aluminium bike. I wonder if it is good eough for touring? I mainly bike on paved road a i plan to tour maybe a month or 2 max a year going forward. I do camping (meaning i carry camping stuff) and need to toll my 8 year old daughter in her 20 inches bike most of the time with a Followme.
I understand nowadays aluminium can be as strong as steel, but a 2012 trek? i am not sure. I am sure it is not triple butt though.
any thoughts? thank you
