my friend an i are going to do our first tour at the begging of september we were planning on going from london -> Portsmouth -> Cherbourg down the west cost and along the top of spain and fly back from santander. we are after bikes up to the job but not only that we would like something that isnt just hybrid to cycle through out the rest of the season. We both own a hybrid that are defiantly not up to the job. what we were looking at is a bike you can fit paniers to that is very much a road bike with out them. is this something people would recommend. we have looked at what a shop called a winter trainer like a scott s55 or s50 or the daws audex range like the clubman.
any advice on bikes or general first time tours would be great
cheers
