need a bike for a very long trip :)
Hey!
I don't know if this is the right forum, but I am thinking of going on a 800 km long trip through France this summer.
... and I need advice on buying a bike.
I am not yet decided upon the route, but I don't think that I will drive exclusively on asphalt.
So I need a comfortable bike with which I can go up to pretty high speeds. And one which I can use to drive on relatively uneven terrain (like woodland?)
I guess the bike should be pretty light too.
Also, I don't want to be riding in a standing position or be too bend forward.
I prefer sitting comfortably upright.
... Or is this incompatible with the sort of trip I am thinking of?
My budget for the bike is 200 Euros maximum.
does anyone have any suggestions on what kind of a bike I want to buy?
and where?
thanks!!
Grisha.
