My beloved GT Bravado has been written off after I was rear ended by a car in April. I sustained a broken hip, but I'm on the mend. Now I'd specced my Bravado to tourer standard and need a replacement. I'm working with Evan's Cycles who have been very helpful and as there's such a choice on the market, can anyone suggest a suitable steed for me please - ? As a guide, the Genesis Tour de Fer 10 is good, the TDF 20 is excellent, but only come with flat bars and the TDF 30 is spot on, but it isn't carried as standard stock by Evan's, so returns would be an issue.
The specs I need are -
Reynolds chromoly frame, pref. 725.
Wire operated disc brakes.
Dynohub lighting.
Fitted touring racks; but front racks not essential.
Drop handlebars.
Pref 3 fitted bottle cages, or the bosses to take same.
Rims; 700c or 26".
Am I being too fussy, or is it simply that from experience, I know what suits me - ?
Thanks all in advance.
