    Not sure how much, you might have to sell the farm ;)

    You should email that to Jeremy Clarkson. His head would explode at the idea of a bicycle caravan.....bicycleavan.

    The last time I tried to sell the farm the occupants revolted and stole my bike :mad:

    Did you do anymore on this CramCycle? Does anyone have one? I've been looking at Long Haul Trucker myself recently. I'm having a work related mid-life crisis and need to go find myself. I was thinking the LHT might be the bike to do it on.:D

    I found this link for sizing: http://spreadsheets.google.com/ccc?key=pdb5rlL1ns0XLxM31WpvkCw#gid=0

    Think I'll go for the 54 myself. I like a 55cm horizontal top tube in a bike.

    Good luck with that. Have a look fo me while your at it please.;)

    Seriously though-I saw a Bob Jackson frame in London a while back and was very impressed with the finish etc. So much nicer than the LHT imo.

    Yeah I'm a big Surly fan (have two of their frames already) but for my next one, I'd be mighty tempted by the Bob Jackson. Currently thinking about the Audax End-End rather than the World Tour.

    I bought Surly LHT frame from Wiggle almost 3 years ago and got my local bike shop to build it with the parts I specified.

    I toured from Perth to Brisbane with it. Did 8,000 K's
    Only mechanical was a broken spoke.
    Although i had 36 spoke hand built wheels I would be more careful about choosing my wheels next time.

    In summary its not about looks, weight or bling but dependability
