Planning to go backpacking for a couple months in NZ soon & debating between the Surly Ogre and the Primos Dame.
The cost savings with the Dame makes a large difference but being able to go in to a shop and try out the Ogre has given me more peace of mind there.
I am very new to buying bikes so this may be a dumb question but I’m curious if there are any major reasons to go one way vs the other. Also open to hearing any recs for other bikes
