Buying bike for Camino tour
Hello cyclers,
I'd like to ask you for advice which bike to buy for Camino de Santiago tour (800 km). Would something like Giant Roam 1/2/3 Disc 2017 be OK, or should I look for something else. I like them because they are dirt cheap right now (400-600 €).
Thanks for advice...

The Continental Top Contact II is a better tire. It's all I tour on. This is the one I am talking about:

The regular Contact is not as good.
