hi, I'm new to the forum, and relatively new to cycling. so far i really like it.

basically, next year i'm taking a gap year before university, and i thought it would be really great to spend a month or 2 around europe, cycling places and what not.

what i really need is a suitable bike, one which i can do long road distances on, and any advice from people who have done something similar, or not.

thanks.

you'll probably get some good answers here, but even better luck in the touring forums, I think.

Yep. Try the touring forum. Also check the touring hub @ VeloWeb.
