If you are hotelling/B&b/hosteling it then aprt from a simple change of kit what else do you need to carry? I would have though that a road bike with a small bag would suffice. But that said my Galaxy is a class bike, especially when fully loaded this thing just rolls on and on without any effort, smoothe as you like. All i know is steel frame, but I love th eidea of being able to carry what I need to be totally self sufficiant on a bike. It's a bug and if you catch it you are going to want to have the full touring option I reckon on future tours.
Unloaded the bike is still fun to ride, it's not going to keep up with a good rider on a carbon speed machine but it's still fast and solid.
If i didnt have a galaxy I would buy one, but i do so I am going to buy a roadbike...in your shoes, I would get the galaxy, it's a solid all rounder, all year bike, loaded or not.
How could you not?
