Bike: Massacan Paula

An absolute last minute build consisting of something new, something old and lots of desperate decisions. All mady possible by my old frame cracking two weeks before departure.

A grx 1x11 with a 38t ring and a 11-51t casette will hopefully allow me to survive the climbs. Also a pair of gr1600 wheels provide the ability to roll and were chosen because I wasn't able to break them so far.

Key items of kit: A nice Poporolle made by beautiful fogoods.de and some Spezialiced bags won in a raffle allow for plenty of storage.

An amazin Ass-Saver looks amazing and saves asses.

For bivying I will add a larger Seatpack with a ventour outertent, thermarest pad and cumulus quilt.
