Arrived at B4 Hacker Ergo
I plan on riding mainly on the road, so I want a bike which is fast on the road, but which can handle canal towpaths and the like. No requirement for thick mud or jumping tree roots! Ability to take a pannier is an advantage. So I am looking at endurance bikes which can take a 28 to 35 mm tyre and mudguards. Gravel bikes can in general take even bigger tyres I believe.
Which is exactly my spec as well and how I ended up with the Reilly after looking at many styles of bikes and brands as well. I could not find a better value deal that the Reilly once I decided on the Gravel/Adventure style of bike. I still have a full sus mtn bike when I feel the need but I suspect the Reilly will be the most used by far.
