Sounds like a fantastic trip, Brian, thanks for the detailed description and user feedback on the bikes themselves. I'm not surprised the Canadian folks are slow to get going--titanium is notoriously challenging to work with and there are a zillion other things to go sideways. Keeping my eye on them as I'd love to have a bike to toss in the car or camper van. Am not a fan of full bikes on the roof.

Cheers,
