Hello everybody,
I am thinking about purchasing a touring or 'trekking' bike i think they are called and as you can probably tell don't really know what to look for.
I not exactly new to cycling but i am to the touring/trekking scene.
So basically straight to the point im wanting a bike that can carry a fair amount of gear and i saw the bike ridden by Mark Beaumont was a Koga Miyata im just wondering what they are like and if the value for money on them is good and where they can be purchased from etc.
It doesn't necassarily have to be the Koga but if it can go round the world in one piece if must be pretty good right.
So if anyone can tell me a bit about them and what i should be looking for or if anyone knows of some better bikes for carrying quite alot of luggage with the front and back paniers please let me know.
Thanks, Turbo
