Hi I already posted in another section before I saw this one (forgive me ). I will be biking Canada in about 10 to 11 months (june or july) Me and my friend haven't fully figured out exactly when were starting yet but its in the works. And in this time I need to get equipped for such a ride!

Now before earlier this morning (3ish) I didn't even know that a Touring Bike was the bike I needed (just thought Road Bike). So I am clearly very new to this and could use any and all suggestions Greedily! haha.

So I haven't had much time since earlier this morning to really fully look into this but I'm not sure if it's really important to buy new for such a ride or if used is OK (clearly would have to be in good condition if I'm not mistaken).

I have seen this one and am wondering if this is a suitable bike for such a Trip and whether or not it is actually a good deal!
