Hi
Hoping for some advice. I haven't bought a bike for a lot of years - I toured around Europe in 2011 on a Ridgeback Voyage Touring Bike which was stolen recently!
I'm looking for something that will be suitable for any future tours, long or short, but that will be used for weekend road riding predominantly. I'm looking at the gravel bikes. It will need to be capable of attaching pannier racks etc and something with a good gear range for hill climbing. The gearing seems to vary so I can't get my head around which is most suitable.
These are the 4 I'm looking at...any thoughts/advice? The Cannondale is a little over my budget but would consider if worthwhile. My previous bike was about £800 and never gave me any problems, ever. I'm trying to work out if i'll see the benefit in spending a bit more.
Thanks!
