Hi all thinking of buying a touring bike but not got much idea, what do you all think of the following bike

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/HYBRID-TOURIN...40:1318&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14#ebayphotohosting

it will only ever be used for 2/3 week fully loaded camping tours.


any input is appreciated

cheers

I would say no to that one as we all say on here you get what you pay for and for £110 that is one sorry bike. As it says in the add It is a new bike still in the box and unless you are good at putting them together don't do it.

Well presumably you're in the uk, and you're not setting off on this 2/3 weeks fully loaded camping tours for the next five months anyway.

Frankly, as a touring bike it looks un-ideal.

But it's very cheap, and it'll learn you lots about bicycles if you want to be learned, and if you have some nice days out on it you'll always look back on it with great affection.

And it's cheap. Not much more than a couple of tanks of petrol.

You'll almost certainly be wanting something different come the Spring - but still, it's cheap.
