My Boardman CX team. Will do everything you want from a bike and more. It really is excellent. After some tweaking of brakes and finishing kit, it's really the perfect all rounder. It's not flashy, but it rides great. Tow paths, loaded on the back, road rides, commuting... Laps it all up.[/QUOTE]
What tyres have you got on there? Silly question, but what's the deal with the disc brakes, is it just for extra stopping power when fully loaded? Always assumed they weigh a tonne? Guess I am wrong.
I'm not too fussed about a 'specific' tourer, but most I get attracted to at the moment have no eyes...
Edit: above seems like a good option....I initially suggested riding there fixed, but was told to GTFO. Probably for the best! Were you B&B-ing/hosteling?
