Hello everyone this is my first message on this beautiful forum and I know it is a frequently asked one but still it goes into it a little deeper.
As you can guess I am out to buy a touring bike but there is a dilemma that won't let me decide.

My plan is to bike from spain back home to Leuven(Belgium). Now, I work at my lbs and am able to get a new trek 520 for €860 buuut I am also able to buy a new surly troll frameset for about €300-400. I do like cruisin the dirt but I like surfin the road as well, maybe even more. I would be camping out in the woods most of the time.

There is no possible of trying any of them and I haven't found a shop with a size 63 as of yet.(height: 1m89 weight: 95kg)

Please push me in the right direction because I really cannot decide.
