Surly Cross-check?
-
Genesis CdF? Generous clearances for tires and mudguards, not overly aggressive geo, disc brakes, etc.
-
If you're happy with long reach, Surly will be fine.
Otherwise Genesis.
-
Genesis Equilibrium would be worth a look if you want something a bit more road / fun.
-
Another vote for the CrossCheck/Straggler recommendation. I've been really pleased with my Straggler and bothwell <3 s her CrossCheck.
-
What size are you looking for?
-
Bit late, but i would recommend the Surly Pacer, 28's and guards fit nicely, perfect for longer 30 mile commutes, can't even fault it.

Hello functional thread! I'm after a new do it all geared bike - all weather commuter and touring friendly.
My commute is going to be changing from 10 miles to 30miles a day so need something nippy but kinda relaxed riding position. Needs to be able to accommodate sturdy tyres and mudguards and eyelets. WSD would be good but not a deal breaker.
I have a tendency to love every bike I see/try so some clarity would be appreciated! Current contenders include a Soma Buena Vista, B Twin Triban 540, Brother Kepplar build or a Bobbin Bike Albion...
Looking to spend max £1000.
