Looking for a modern, light & reliable hybrid/touring bike for the country side with a few criteria - Belt drive, disc brakes, lighting, rear carrier and flat handlebar. I have a short list of 6 bikes but reviews & feedback on pros/cons are difficult to identify - so was hoping some out there could weigh in or even propose alternatives I have not yet considered.
Cannondale Tesoro 1
Ghost Square Urban X7.8 AL U
Giant Anytour CS 1
Kalkhoff Endeavour 8 Trekking
Vsf Fahrradmanufaktur TX-1200
Marin Fairfax SC6 DLX ST
The Cannondale is the only one without a belt drive. The Ghost looks sharp and has a great reputation but the low profile of the handlebars & stem make me wonder if the Giant might not be ideal
