pardon my spelling.
looking for a nice light bike capable of all the above….but more towards light touring.

seen the ti tripster, it is ace, but not for me. the crosslight with a carbon fork looks nice too.
anything else suitable for a bit of everything?

I’m planning on picking one of these Rose bikes up for the exact same reasons.

Quality on Rose bikes I have seen is shocking.

Ton what bikes do you have, why won’t they do, whats wrong with the ti tripster?

Surly cross check seems made for people who can’t quite make up their minds.

Lots of tyre clearance, disc brake options now, mud guard and rack mounts.

Slightly weird geometry, low and long, but seems to work for me.

r people who can’t quite make up their minds.

that is me for sure…. 😆

Al, i only have 1 bike mate, a very heftyly built surly lht.

I really like the Salsa Colossal, but I have no idea why they didn’t spec it with rack mounts.

Seen the Kona Rove? Very handy looking for what your after big lad…
