I'm looking for a bike that is great for touring (that I can put panniers on), non paved roads and in the city with paved roads. My friend has the Trek 8.2 DS but I find that it is pretty heavy... I've been looking at the Neko S, which is pretty much the same wheel size, but I don't know if it's heavier or lighter? I mean it's more expensive so I guess it should be lightweight? If you have any other better bikes that you know of that would be great :) Thanks a lot
