Hey all, new member here.
I had an older 2001 Novara Buzz for years up until a roommate took it out, left it unlocked in San Francisco, and got it stolen (then moved out without replacing the bike or paying me for it). My road bike is out of commission for a few days until I can get a replacement rim and spokes, so it's been some long bus rides to work.
I'm mostly looking for a rock solid commuter I can take in the rain if need be, attach panniers, and also possibly the Burley Nomad trailer. I was hoping on getting a bike also that I can take on biking vacations. Would the newer Novara Buzz be a good option for this? I know it'd be a sweet city bike, but if I threw some all conditions tires on it would it be well-suited for touring/vacationing?
The biggest concerns I have so far is that the eyelets for attaching a rack are poorly placed and make it hard to attach panniers. The other concern is that it just wouldn't be comfortable for riding on for a week (aluminum frame).
Your thoughts? Much appreciated
