As always, this community delivers!! This is super helpful.
My inclination is that I will try to have one of the LBS's in Astoria order in a Disc Trucker (hoping all works re supply!). And then will take the Amtrak bus from Portland (or Uber depending).
I think the tip to do even a bit of riding on it before setting off is really smart, I'll probably give myself a day in Astoria riding on the new bike before setting off in case there's anything that needs to be adjusted.
Unfortunately given the timing (and travel I'm doing before starting), it won't be possible to do much more riding on it beforehand.
