In the past couple of years choosing a new bike has become even harder. The design and choice has gone crazy. Its like being a kid in a candy store with a big bag of cash. I dont know where to start first.
My N+1 Wish list grew out of proportions. Every time I have mentioned what bike I may like, people have come back with half a dozen other good bikes to add to the list.
So what do I want.? An everyday summer bike I can use for commuting on roads and rough tracks. Something I can use for bike packing or touring with panniers. It must have:
1x11 chainset
Shimano GRX
Be able to take 700 and 650 wheels
It has to be light
Have plenty of bosses
Can take big tyres
Hydraulic disc brakes.
After a lot of searching I think the Marin Headlands 2 could tick all the boxes. Its not a brand I know much about but gets good reviews.
Have a look and give me your opinion.
