bargain hunting newbie
Hi folks. I've been lurking around this board for a while and enjoying it -- and the quality of the posts -- very much.
I'm hoping the helpful posters here will be able to advise me on the choice of a touring bike, which I would use for shopping, commuting, overnight trips and the occasional modest tour. The bike shops here have a very limited range of touring rigs, but I've found a few candidates in stock at various reputable stores. I'm hoping to grab a season-end deal on one of the following:
KHS TR-101
DeVinci Caribou 1
Jamis Aurora
Raleigh Sojourn.
All would be available for a test drive, I think, and all seem to be available in a suitable size. Any favorites? Anything here to avoid?
