I'm looking for a bike to replace my Cannondale Caadx Tiagra 2017. It's OK bike but unfortunately there are only few mounts for bottles and no mounts at all for racks.
I'll be riding the bike mostly on paved roads but also some on gravel roads.
What I will do with it :
– Commute
– Make 2-7 day touring/bikepacking trips
– Have fun riding around town
What I want in my dream bike
-lots of mounting points
-More relaxed riding posture
-option to add wider tires
-install rack and panniers, preferrably both front and back
-Price around 2000-3000 euros
-Preferrably no front derailleur
So I guess it's either a gravel bike or a touring bike? I've been looking around but there are so many bikes available that it's overwhelming.
Some bikes that I've looked to:
