Am seriously tempted to get a fully functional go anywhere bike for weekend touring, off road shenanigans and plus occasional commutes. Also need to cut from 2 bikes to one, hence want a do anything steed.
Have managed to save some cash to make a long term investment so looking at either Surly Disc Trucker, Salsa Fargo or Trek 920. Anyone got any advice? Salsa Fargo is the most expensive and am tempted with the 920 via cycle 2 work scheme but figure a credit card purchase from LBS would work out about the same.
Genesis Croix de Fer 30. I've got 2015 model and it's a great all rounder. If you got a spare pair of light road disc wheels it could be convincing as a road bike.
May be worth looking if you can find something second hand buy barely used on eBay from last years cycle scheme types.
