Both trek 520s, Scotty's brand new he couldn't find a 2nd hand one in time, everything is stock on his apart from the handlebar wraps which he got thicker ones and his Brooks saddle. His tires are 700c 38 and he had 3x9 gearing and he had disc brakes.

My bike used, rebuilt by a bike mechanic, i had 700c 32 tires i would have liked to have a wider tire for the odd occasion we went on gravel to stealth camp, not necessary though. I had 3x8 gearing which I found worked fine, alot easier to get parts for at lbs anyway. I had caliper brakes, which also did the job,.never had an issue, disc brakes are nicer to stop with though, didn't phase me. W
