Yet another post that's looking to change a bike and needs advice. I currently have a bike that's a city bike (Raleigh) and it's okay for the commuting that I do on most days and some weekend and night/early evening rides. But I'm doing longer routes and planning to do some short tours building up to a longer tour next year - and ending with a trek in Cambodia.
I'm seeking advice on either a hybrid or tourer - I'm getting the feeling that a tourer would be better as an upgrade? And I'm looking at Treks.
I saw one today, the Trek 7300FXS and feel in lust with it - but it has the same crankset as I've currently got - although the Trek has more gears. I need more speed as well, as I'm finding that on the flats I go for it, but my bike can't handle it.
Any input and pointers in the right direction would be greatly appreciated
