Where to start?
After many childhood moons of dreaming about getting my own road-bike, I'm finally getting my act together and looking for a bike. The grande plan is to do some touring in central america next summer...
However, my problem is that I really dont know what type of bike will meet my needs?
I'm 5'8", will be touring with a passenger, and am trying to spend under $3000 CDN on the bike. I have ridden dirt bikes for the past few years but have no road experience.
My main concerns are comfort (both passenger & rider), reliability and luggage carrying capacity.
Do you think my budget is unrealistic?
Any comments or suggestions would be gratefully appreciated as this is completely new territory for me.
Cheers!
