[longcyclehome]

Hi Guys

I am a fairly experience cyclist and next year I will be cycling through Europe for 3 months in Germany, Denmark, Czech rep, Austria, Luxembourg, France, Uk
I have been advised to get a Dawes Super Galaxy for around 1000GBP.

Does anyone have a better suggestion on where I should spend the money? Does anyone have any experience with this bike?

Any suggestions would be greatly appreicated. My knowledge on these types of bikes is fairly low as they are very different to the types of bikes I use for everyday use

Use your everyday bike. Change the cassette if necessary. Add a light weight race if you want to carry some gear.

You really need to give more details about what type of bike you have and what you want to carry with you.
