Hi
I saw another recent post here from Tex about budget tourers. I was
thinking of adding to that thread as I'm in a similar position: I'm
looking for a budget tourer (maximum £400) just for short urban trips
with panniers and hopefully some longer holidays.
I'm 6'4" and I'm finding it impossible to find cheap tourers with big
frames. I love my current bike - a 66cm frame Orbit Ambassador - it's on
it's last legs and I've been told that it's not worth repairing. I've
had 20 years good use out of it, but I'm having trouble finding cheap
tourers with 63cm frames let alone 66cm. Ideally I'd like a frame >66cm
but that seems unlikely...
Any advice appreciated!
thanks
Alex
