I'm hankering after a new bike...
I've got a spec sirrius currently which I love, and it coped well laden with extra stuff when I toured around the Isle of Wight recently. However - I'd love to get a tourer - but one that will still be quick for a commute to work, and weekend rides when I'm not all-out touring.
My LBS are thinking about getting in Kinesis bikes, and I've been recomended the tripster one. I can't really find many reviews of this, and not sure I really want to spend that much on it. I would get CTW discount on it though.
I do love the look of the Edinburgh Revolution bikes - the Country Traveller, or the one up from that.

Dawes of course, are a contender as well.
Confused really. Any advice on which is good? (or any others)
Sorry for yet another 'which bike' thread, but thanks for any suggestions.
