Hi, I want to buy a bicycle which is capable for packaged tours, as well as daily use in the town. It would be nice if it can go trough wooden trails or grass fields with ease. I read tons of discussions about the usability of a cyclocross bike as a touring bike.However , I live in Hungary, my options and budget are limited. I can spend around 1100 usd. Also I would like to purchase one with horn accelerators ( sorry hunglish language). In this price range I found these:
Ridgeback Advance 4.0 2013 Hybrid Bike | Evans Cycles
It says it's a hybrid bike, well I don't know what is it really.
Ridgeback Tour - Hellovelo
A lovely touring bike
GIANT Revolt 2 - Mesterbike
Another cyclocross bike
TCX 2 (2013) - Bikes | Giant Bicycles | United States
And a Merida cyclocross 3
I image these types of bikes can be really enjoyable because of their large capabilities. Anyway please help me I don't know which is the best
