In the summer I will be cycling from london to paris and back. Has anyone got any advice on what sort of road bike/touring bike I will need? I'll be carrying minimal weight. I'm looking to spend between £250-£450 are there any makes of bikes or specific frame materials or components I should be looking for? and are there any decent websites to buy from?

Any info appreciated!!

  • For that sort of money, you really have got to go into the 2nd hand market. For a ride like that too, i'd chose comfort over anything else. Get a bike that fits right is my main bit of advice.
