My new bike requirements are discs front and rear (suspension front acceptable). Touring bike ie will take full mud guards, rear & front rack. Must be Rolhoff equipped. Could could possibly live with rim brakes but an old bike I own had disc front and rim brake on the back wheel and I am on the 5th rear wheel/rim So prefer disc. Must be disc rear as I would not be happy to have to pay for a Rolhoff equipped wheel to have rim replaced. Thorn Nomad is the obvious choice any other ideas? Will probably fund it by selling a Thorn Raven Enduro and charge Alfine 11. I am basically after bombproof and my Thorn Raven has proved to be. So thought I would go the next bit and go comfort as well ie get to the pub cleanish. Only really use bikes of road for foraging so a good bombproof tourer will do. Oh although I have Trail Tech lights I may go for dynamo as back up.
