My dad is looking at doing some touring and quick short road rides. As such has been looking around at new toys. He currently has a <27lb on-one 456 and has stuck some slick tyres on but would something like an audax bike be better?
Can anyone recommend something? Limit of around £1000.
Expecting to be carrying the full range of tent and cooking gear - 20kg max of all luggage?
Wanting lighter weight for speed on local road rides but strength to carry gear around scotlands back roads?
jamis are doing very nice touring bikes this year.
been looking my self.
graham weigh are also doing a nice dolan alloy touring bike for £750
this model grabbed my attention.
Thanks ton, bit on the heavy side though isn't it? Or do I need to look towards that kind of weight for carrying 15-20kg?
for a touring bike you are not gonna get anything much lighter.
and 28lbs aint heavy 8)
