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)

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:
![](https://www.google.co.uk/images/srpr/logo4w.png)
That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
