Hi all,
I'm looking for a drop or straight-bar touring bike that is light enough for easy disassembly and bagging for the trains for daily rides but is strong enough to load up with racks and panniers for longer treks. Budget is in the 100-150,000 yen range. Gios' Pure Drop is one option I've seen around at Y's. Giant's Great Journey is an example of too heavy overkill. Surly's Long Haul Trucker is another possibility.
Any other recommendations/comments?
