Giant Mountain Bike for Sale. New.
There could be a goat or something in the ravine when the MTBer is out rock hopping. A quick ping ping and he'd move aside. You touring sissies have it easy.

That picture is ever so slightly out of focus. When’s your first beer ? . Take another picture an hour after and try again.
pew, pew, pew, pew!
Rather unsteady hands the morning after a wedding and no daytime beer allowed as it's the alleged yoga group today.

Can't you just threaten it with your pink Minnie Mouse Crocs seen outside the door?
Ok ok. Reluctantly I'll throw those in with the sale. They belong to my girlfriend and she'll probably sulk, but she's growing so fast she'll probably need a new pair before the next school term anyway.
Even to my un trained eye, I could see there was a bargain to be had. Only reason I didn’t buy was that I am after a tourer and thought I could cut corners with buying a mountain bike

^^ One can tour with a mtb, I have met many though none were really doing inter-continental. Most were doing short three months or less of just one country and carry just two panniers at the back, although a few had managed to rig up a front rack as well. There was one Russian kid who had cycled from Russia through Europe to Morocco over a very long Spring n summer.
I reckon a mtb with a trailer is a good way to go and tour especially in SE Asia where main roads are good, cycle , find a hotel, dump trailer and then explore the surrounds and get off road.
And of course you can always go bare minimum and bike pack. I meet one Swede who was cycling the muslim south in Thailand for two weeks and had only one cycle shirt n shorts which he rinsed out and dried every night in the hotel room plus two changes of non cycle clothes. No towel or toiletries, just a toothbrush n paste, a phone, puncture repair kit and that was about it. He was also on a carbon fibre road bike and was doing 150k to 200k a day! I don't think everything put together bike n kit could have weighed more than about 10 kilos.
