Touring Bike Advice

[mattlandells]

Hi All,

I'm planning a tour through Europe next summer of around 2000 miles and I'm looking to purchase a decent touring bike for the trip as it will be unsupported with tents. So far I've narrowed my choice to:

1) Ridgeback Voyage

2) Kona Sutra

3) Edinburgh Bicycle Revolution Country Explorer

Any opinions or experience of those bikes would be greatly appreciated - I'd love to be able to test them all but it seems to be hard to find any of them!

Thanks

Matt
