there are so many great bike companys over the world, like Thorn UK or Surly USA and so on. Hard to make a decision. I bought a VSF TX- 400 in 2016. After thousands of kilometres i am still not happy. I need lots of power to drive the tank and in the field the blows feel very hard for my hands, compared to a 28 inch touring bike. The bike feels slow and needs power to accelerate.

How can i tune the bike? Do you have a stem and handlebar you can recommend for a 1,80 metre tall guy?

Any experience with the Jones H- Bar, the Surly Moloko, the Koga Denham Bar or the Ritchey Kyote?

Do you have a tire recommendation for the TX- 400? Not so heavy like the Marathon Mondial?

Do you have a rim recommendation? The Ride Andra feel heavy to accelerate.

I am with you, the TX- 400 is a beast for cycling the world. But it feels clumsy and uncomfortable.

All the Best from Alexander

I too have one of these which I bought as a (super indulgent) 50th birthday present. We were living in France at the time and to the best of my knowledge they weren’t available in Australia so it was pretty sweet to find my local bike shop in Nantes carried them. 5 years later and it is still going strong. The only component I swapped out was the saddle – for a Brooks B17! It is a bit heavy, but chances are it will outlast me.
Happy cycling guys, so glad I found your website.
