I'm interested in getting a (first) roadbike, my main ambition is to do a long distance tour, 1000 miles plus. think LEJOG with a circuitous route or similar.
the closest i currently have to Darkside is a Kona Dew but due to a recent house move and the long winter im thinkin of getting a race/ road bike anyway.
Im thinking about what style of bike to go for.
Objectives are:
Could ride road at a speed where i could join local club rides
Comfortable enough to spend 2-3 weeks on
Some kind of carrying capacity (either rack mounts or possibly a trailer instead?)
budget is under £2000 ideally closer to £1500
Current top of list is a van nic or similar Ti frame with rack mounts
second on the list is 'sportive' geometry carbon road bike and trailer.
Thoughts??
