Hi All,
I’m looking for a new year round commuter (living in the PNW) that can do the occasional bike touring trip (2-3 days a few times a year) and handle some packed travel trails. I’ve narrowed it down to two options based on test rides.
The Breezer Radar Expert (48”) https://www.breezerbikes.com/products/radar-expert-21?_pos=1&_psq=Radar+expert&_ss=e&_v=1.0
Or the Kona Rove AL (52”) https://www.konaworld.com/en-ca/products/rove-al-700-1
I prefer the geometry and components of the Breezer, but the Kona is roughly $600 less and I like the lighter frame for carrying up/down stairs.
Would love folks opinions/experience with either!
Thanks
