Hi all
I'm not a mega newbie when it comes to cycling, I have pretty much ridden everywhere on two wheel, both human and petrol powered. However I want to really get into it properly and get into road riding... my question..
I would like a road/touing bike, I know some of you will say "make you mind up which as they're different" but I don't want an all singing all dancing sports road bike, but one that can eventually hold a rear pannier say for a reasonably long tour next summer? I've looked at Dawes Galaxy style touring bikes and although they're absolutely awesome, I am only 25 afterall
The dilemna I have though is i've quit work to be at uni, and before strapping out on a £700 ish brand new bike i'd like a second hand one to 'learn' on and to familiarise myself with it before breaking the bank and a new one.
So what kind of bikes could of go for? And with a max budget for a 2nd hand bike of £300?
Any help is appreciated!
Kind Regards
Danny
