Hello fellow peddlers of cycles.
As I have posted previously I'm on a weight loss journey I'm down at around 20 - 21 stones and currently ride a second hand chinese generic mass produced fat bike. Whilst it was hilarious at first the road noise has become horrific from the tyres and unbearable. The constant vvvrruummmmmm has worn out its welcome. It is also rather heavy. I'm looking for a hybrid tourer type bike with a relaxed position with a steel frame. I understand wheels are going to be an issue and my budget is around £500 give or take for this. I did see the Genesis smithfield 2020 on offer for £499 which is steel and a relaxed riding position but I've not heard terribly good things about the jalco rims that it comes with which are XCD22'S. It will be used on a light offroad canal path. Any suggestions?
Thanks.
