hi all,

may need to accept the fact that riding my brommie long distances (regular 40+ and quite a few 60+ all really hilly) is hurting my health. therefore may be no good for my 40 mile a day commute starting march. so i am looking into the idea of a tourer so i can do camping out trips as well.

what is the difference between a 26" mtb based tourer (eg cannondale) and a traditional tourer? are the 26" tourers the same frames as hardtail mtb's? what will the difference in average mph be compared to an audax? a lot slower over 20 miles or just a bit?

cheers
