Thanks to everyone's help in my earlier thread at
http://groups-beta.google.com/group...0e82c694f17/d23e2d568d9fab3e#d23e2d568d9fab3e
I am now eager to put away my discount bike in the basement and buy a
good quality bike.
In particular I am looking into a Marin Lucas Valley

or a Marin Fairfax:

What do you think about these bikes for my purpose? I plan to ride it
about 20 miles a day on regular roads in the city. Since I am wearing a
suit once in a while, I would like to attach full length light-weight
fenders and a simple chain guard, just one extra ring next to the
pedals (is it possible?).
The main purpose is riding in the city but next summer I want to do a
month-long bicycle trip. Do you think I can attach front and rear racks
and go on the road with the extra weight? I wonder if those thin tyres
will be OK. If yes, it would be perfect, as a like to move on fast. Or
should I get a seperate bike for the road trip?
What do you think?
