I am not buying a new touring bike. I am NOT buying a new touring bike!!!! I have no money and only children left to sell, it just ain't gunna happen.
But if someday I did.... I could spend £1200+ on a Hewitt Cheviot or around the same amount on a Super Galaxy (on sale).
I like the idea of buying a Hewitt, supporting smaller British builders and his whole fitting system. But is it going to be a better bike? I've always wanted to do a JOGLE on a Galaxy... if you were going to choose between buying one of the two brand new, with the idea of it lasting you out, which would it be?
