Hi,
I've been riding a Carrera racing bike for 3 years now, its served me well, done two lengths of the UK and many long leisurely rides. However, its definitely starting to feel it. Its hardly worth continuing to spend money on services and repairs, when I may as well buy a new and better bike.
I was wondering if anyone has any advice on what to go for. I'm going to be using it for audax rides mostly, of 100-200km at first, possibly longer tour rides in the future though for that I may use a tourer/hybrid. I've been reading around on a lot of forums and have found a few that I am considering, but the main two are:
Kona Dew Drop
Ridgeback Horizon
These two fit my price range of around £600-700. What are people's thoughts on these two bikes, for the kind of rides I'll be doing? I'm not really sure what sort of things I should be looking for.
Many thanks in advance for any advice.
