I'm playing with the idea of doing some touring next year, maybe go follow the tour for a week or some other race.
Also I'm on the look out for a winter/training bike which can take mudguards etc, so I'm hoping I can combine the two needs with one bike.
The plan is to take only the essentials like a tent, sleeping bag, spare clothes and generally live like a joskin eating wild truffles and drinking strawberry wine.
I was thinking down the route of a Ribble Winter/Audax 7005 or Boardman CX. If you think these are unsuitable or have any thoughts on bikes to look for I'm all ears. Also I'm a little unsure if the frame needs certain eyelets/braze-ons as some panniers I've seen don't require them.
And do Rapha do touring sandals?
