Another Good Option

I looked at both these bikes. I decided to go with the Novara Element. It has disk brakes and tough enough to carry all my bags and equipment for touring. It has a smooth ride even over bumpy uneven roads, dirt and the occasional pothole . The Safarri seemed a bit to bulky for me and I didn't like the handlebars. The Ranondee was nice also but after a few Test rides I preferred the Element.
Good Luck and let us know what you decide.
