First time posting but I'm looking for a general commuting / day-to-day bike. Looking to replace my lovely 1990s touring bike after its really rather sad and unfortunately timed demise after the seat post entirely cracked/sheared through by the bottom bracket.
I'm just shy of 5' 8" and ideally looking for something that fits the bill of a touring bike - i.e. pannier rack, flat bars - although that's not a necessity and certainly not set on flat bars, also amenable to SS. Budget is slightly on the low side as I'm a student between courses, had my eye on a nice custom MBK framed bike in my area but that was slightly out of price range.
Happy to travel within London although preferably bike would be ready to ride away.
Cheers in advance!
