Hi, I started to learn about building my own bike with Chinese parts recently, so sorry if this post might be a bit basic.

So my questions are:

• What would be your choice of frame for a touring bike?
• Which components would you use?
• Do you have your own already? Show and tell a bit about it, please

I personally don't need the lightest or faster option but one that allows me to carry enough equipment without compromises and it's a comfortable ride, something like the Riverside Touring 900 would be my ideal choice.

Having the possibility to attach mudguards is also important as I live in a country where it often rains, and the bike will be also be my commuting bike to work.

Other optional but interesting configurations that I would like to hear about is the possibility to have a belt drive as it seem like a very durable option when going on long trips.

Thank you for expert advice.
