Good road bike to use for touring

ah, thanks for the page.

Yes, I think folks should hold off until the OP comes back with more info on the original post.

Never stopped us rabbitting on for pages before.

What are the odds that this thread vanishes then gets re-opened in about 3yrs though.

Yes if we all stopped replying or making helpful suggestions thus forum would not be half as interesting

Agree grant but if the OP doesn't return, they aren't going to get much out of it.

 

[Gravity Aided]

But someone else may, when they reopen this post in about three years' time. What we do, we do for the ages. So much more than cycling here.

Yes no David Cameron BIG SOCIETY crap here, just solid liberal debate

A Specialized Secteur Elite has a triple, a reasonably relaxed riding position, and fixings for rear panniers. I've used mine with about 12kg in the panniers in Holland and it's been fine. As a road bike, it's pretty passable too.

Great minds...

Excellent advice there gent, the secteur is an excellent bike and with a triple makes a great tourer.

Just so happens that Im looking to sell mine, as I moving house and dont have the space (Also selling a roubaix and spesh AWOL)

It's like those who post asking for advice on buying something, and then post again in a couple of hours, after maybe only a couple of replies, saying "I bought XXX"
