Hi, I have had a giant hybrid for a few years now but want to do more road cycling. I am a pleasure rider and not a race rider. Although I want to do a cycle holiday around the Sth Island on my new bike. Any suggestions of Brands and Bikes would be much appreciated. I have a budget of $0 -$1000 NZD.

do you need to carry a tent and camping gear ? how long would it be in terms of distance ? is it ondulating terrain with climbs along the way ?
 
Hi, Thanks for replying. I thought staying in backpackers and the terrain is sealed roads but many hills involved
 
If you stay with Giant, there are these two options for various terrains, but one of them is better for off roads than the other: Rove O 980 usd. my choice would be this other one because it also allows you to hit various terrains (but not hard core mountain gravel paths) but in the form of a road bike, which i prefer, Invite 2 1150 usd.
