Hi,
As I said in a previous post I'm planning a trip from the UK to Greece via Spain and Italy.
I am now considering which bike I should be choosing, without very strict limitations in budget, but again without wanting to spend any money just for style and appearances.
So for example I've been checking the Dawes Horizon vs the Galaxy or even the Super Galaxy.
The price difference for the first two is 400£ and I'm wandering what am I getting for this money.
-The different frame seems to benefit the buyer with only 0.4 to 0.6Kg of less weight to carry.
-The bikes have different gear systems, but apart from the 27 compared to the 24 ratios, I can't inderstand any aother difference, since all of them are SHIMANO followed with lots of letters and numbers.
-The Horizon doesn't seem to come with a decent carrier, but again that is something I could easily replace.
Generally I don't get it.
Can somebody please persuade me in spending this extra 400£?
Here are the specs for these bikes by the way:
