I've booked a trip at the end of the month but am a bit short of kit.
I'm after a large, complete (or nearly) bike suitable for touring for a long weekend to a month at a time. I'll be mainly travelling on roads and tow paths so I'm guessing 700s will be the best option.
I'm looking for something relatively modern or at least with modern cable routing around the controls. Mud guards would be a bonus as would gearing suitable for mountainous inclines.
I'm also after a large saddle bag and bar bag plus mountings. Carradice is top of my list but i'll consider anything.
My budget is around £300 for the bike. I've seen a couple on ebay but just wanted to see if there was anything going on here. Cheers.
(Oh also after a lightweight tent)
