Bike: It's an 80's Razesa Reynolds 531 racing frame with a touring fork and some mods: more clearance in the rear, drilled water bottle bosses and a re-brazed broken dropout. 700x35 Rene Herse Bon Jon Pass EL tubeless for comfort, 46-30x12-36 10v gearing to climb anything and downtube shifters. SP dynamo powers B&M lightning and charging if necessary. Brooks saddle and tape on a Nitto rando handlebar, SPD pedals and a mix&match cheap front rack. And French BB!!
Key items of kit: I made myself the front rando bag and frame bag some 8 years ago while I was broke, and they (barely) keep going. A waterproof saddle pack for the inflatable mat, down jacket, emergency biby and some other things. Lots of food in the front and biiig water bottles to stop the bare minimum, and a Coros Dura for navigation that i've liked a lot.

Luke Travis
Age: 35
Location: Yorkshire, UK
Bike: Kinesis Racelight Gran Fondo Ti frame. Wheels are Chris King hubs with DT Swiss rims. Drivetrain is a mix of 11 speed mechanical Ultegra and GRX 46-30 with 11-32. Tyres are Continental GP 4 Seasons but might change before the start. Brakes are rim brakes because I don't want to spend any more money on this stupid sport.
Key items of kit: I'm currently over 5000km in to my cycle to the start from the UK, so most of my kit has been pretty key so far. Bags are Restrap (Saddle, top tube, and aero bar) with an Alpkit frame bag Sleep system is a silk sleeping bag liner, down jacket and trousers, klymit Inertia X Lite pad and SOL bivvy bag. Mainly chosen for versatility on the way to Spain, will probably stay in hotels at some point for my own sanity. Wet weather gear - Rapha jacket, Gripgrab overshoes and gloves, DHB merino arm and leg warmers. Apidura high-vis vest. I've hand painted the mudguards as a diary from other rides like the Pan-Celtic, Fiets Elfstedentocht, and Club des Cinglés du Mont Ventoux (Three roads up Mont Ventoux in a day).
