They look very similar, although the Super Galaxy has marginally better drivetrain components and better tyres. Any recommendations for which components group (model year 2013) to get that would be true and durable. As there wasn’t a Rose dealer where we were living in France, the TX-400 was the winner. Perhaps a question to be considered here is, “why are top-end touring bike (and some MTB) manufacturers using Rohloff hubs?” Presumably the perceived reliability is a part of the answer to that?Mind you, all the theorising in the world is still bound by practical experience. I do also think, though, that there’s room for everyone to have their own way of approaching the situation — a new bike might be what takes someone from a dreamer to a die-hard cycle tourer — and for another person, the love that goes into a rebuild of a completely unique vintage bike may achieve the same thing.I pulled an old green Chicago Schwinn Varsity off the trash when I was in High School, fixed it up and rode it for a long time. Yes, you might get a rough cut job to hold your frame together to the next port but on a loaded bike i would’t fancy it. I find it incredibly comfortable and a really good load hauler. will a 27″ rim do the same job as a 29’’ rim size? You’re never more than a few miles from a bike shop or train station if something goes wrong. 20kg — with ease, using both front and back racks and it feels very smooth and well-balanced. I think I will buy the kona sutra but I also saw this bike which I really like.I will also convert the bike in an e‑bike with the golden motor magic pie conversion kit plus a solar panel . J.PS Cash is a factor but don’t want to sacrifice quality either.Ideally you’d build an 8‑speed drivetrain from a mixture of components (8sp chains being thicker than 9sp and therefore longer lasting). I travel now for last 5 years with a Koga World traveller bike. Don’t know if the new build quality is as good?I’ve picked up a 2013 Kona Sutra from bikes.com.au for $1200. The best thing to do by far is to test ride the different sizes. So far have only ridden the highlands of Scotland (including off-road touring) and a quick trip to Ypres plus 800 miles of commuting but the Zanskar valley beckons….To sum up this bike, think flat handlebars and fat tyres. for $250USD you can replace it every 2 years, transfer the custom parts to the new bike and still sell the old one for $35. I ordered them from Spa and fitted them in one hour and I am no expert. This makes sense when thinking about dishing and the inherent weakness it introduces to the wheel. I probably spend the most time with my hands on the top section of the bars, but it’s a blessing to be able to get right down into a crouch when I have to ride into the wind.I would put my vote for the BB7s. streel framed in the majority, and whilst we are at it, Ortlieb panniers, also in the majority.I am on a 2008 Dawes SG. I’m from Argentina, and here there aren’t so many good bikes, and I can buy one Gitane, but I’ve never heard about this model.I also haven’t heard about this one. I probably wouldn’t have included it here a few years ago, but I can attest to its vast improvement in the last couple of years. Do you recommend to buy a new bike this short before?I explored variety of options of bikes but seems more or less simmilar. The seller has sent photos, and sent more photos at Koga’s request, but still no instructions. However, it’s important to note that not all drop bars are the same. I would be very grateful of a brief opinion!Having been the proud owener of several Koga bikes for around the world trips unfortunately, since 2016 the quality has been declining. I’m now in Vietnam about to set off in a time pressured trip to India (through Laos, Thailand and Myanmar) and I no longer have the same access to the kinds of brands mentioned above(or budgets). The four-year old child will be in an attached trailer bike (with coupler), and the two-year old child will be in a chariot trailer behind that (via skewer hub)…unless someone has a better idea.I already own a Specialized Tarmac for zipping around, and a Santa Cruz mountain bike for the trails. Suggestions welcome! ).Re drop bars: I wouldn’t want to tour without them, and I use them a lot, but especially when I have to ride into the wind. The first bike cost just short of £3000, the second (Sofi) cost £500 and has now completed around 18000 miles. For a few hundred dollars I built a bike that has easily survived several hard tours. I guess it helped that I was cycling through Germany at that time. Cil.Only that it’s not really a touring bike! Another slight annoyance was caused by the shifters, which needed the addition of brake noodles to route the gear cables away from the handlebar bag I added — couldn’t quite justify 105 levers with integral cable routing for a tourer. In our First Ride review, we said the “new S is lighter and faster than its predecessors, and at $17,999 it’s the most affordable 114 The Motor Company has got. Almost the same price as the Kona. In fact, I think it’s the easiest bike I’ve ever ridden in that respect. I ride combined packed dirt (nation forest) roads and paved.
