Hi everyone!
My flatmate and I are in the market for some touring bikes, but as students everything seems to be a bit out of range price wise.
We have been looking at the Roux Etape 150 and the Adventure Flat White, but I feel that I could be better placed getting something second hand?
The new Raleigh Royal looks like a great touring machine, but again out of our price range - is there anything to be said for the multiple 'old' raleigh royals that are to be found when scouring ebay? Or are these not really tourers?
Also, used touring bikes seem nearly impossible to come by on the web, is there anywhere in particular I should be looking?
We are considering touring the Pacific coast of the US this summer if we get sorted
Thanks!
