Assuming you have a fixed budget, is it better to buy one of these £1500 plus versatile bikes or two bikes at £750 for e.g. for specific jobs?
That's a good question.

If I had a £1500 budget I'd go for a steel framed 1990s bike built to be my perfect tourer/shopping bike, and a decent £1000 road bike for faster days out. Funnily enough that is exactly what I have- a 1995 Marin Stinson, tailored exactly to my needs, and a standard Orro Terra.
