Hello, newbie roped into LEJOG and thinking a new bike is in order and hoping for some opinions about the above, all of which have been recommended by various LBS (and available through ride to work scheme, which makes an upgrade possible.)
It's all the tech specs that mean nothing to me yet. My thinking is comfy riding position for long days rather than fast sprints, light as poss for the hills, ideally mud guards and and rack, but know some won't do easily BUT do have a support car for most of the way so don't need to carry much.
Specs on links below if useful to anyone. Many thanks in advance....
Cheers.
