If that's yours, it has flat bars? OP looks to favour drops
Ah ok. Didnt read properly. Would make a good tourer though I have heard.

The first two remind of my recently departed Dawes Sardar, I spent 5 years looking for a large one to only find that it was overkill, slow and boring for general use.

I'd definitely go for something like the Panorama, that looks good value & as others have said, the Spa site offers multiple possibilities.

All of the bikes in the first post have drop bars, that's the only reason I'm assuming thus :smile:

Yes indeed much prefer drops.

Last night I was looking at the Jamis Renegade Expat looks interesting although I know nothing about Jamis.

I have a panorama, fantastic bike apart from the canti's, see they have gone disc from your photo, and a price drop. It is possibly an aggresive riding position for touring.

So one and all what do we think about the Dawes Gran Tour and Coast 2 Coast
