I currently ride a Trek 2.1 which would be fine for an upcoming c2c (we're cheating and getting a support van....) apart from a hair brained idea I have. I'm thinking of riding up from the East Midlands to Newcastle to start the c2c and so will need a bike which could carry a pannier rack. However, I'd like something that'd be quite nippy once I'm doing the c2c without the rack.
I'd also aim to use the bike a little for other days I'll need the carrying capacity throughout the year.
Budget is £6-700 possibly on cyclescheme.
I've thought about the Ribble Winter or the Kinesis T2 but I'm unsure as they weight in a bit more than my Trek. What do you suggest?
