Well I hate doing lots of little shops, so tend to load up. It's not a case of need but I'm keeping my eye out for something on eBay. Saying that the Saracen is a great ride with minimal load, it's just with 2 large overloaded panniers and a big bar bag it gets a bit sketchy. 1/8 HT would probably help with steering flex too. It was originally bought as a cheap alternative to a LHT so maybe I'll just look for one of those now everyone seems to be ditching rim brakes.
Do you really need a super stiff frame to do the shopping, and ride at great speed at the same time?
