This is my first time thinking so in depth about a bike purchase. A couple photos of my current setup for entertainment. I’m trying to find a bike that has the following:
Can fit 29”x2.2 tires
Drop bars
Comes with front suspension
Good for Bikepacking, lots of attachments
Gearing that you can cycle at a 30-35km pace on flat ground and climb mountains (gear inches around 20-22)
Doesn’t bankrupt me!
I hope to use this bike around town/small multi days from home and hopefully doing trips like Kyrgyzstan 🇰🇬, GDMBR, something in Africa, Euro Divide, something Silk Road ish.
I cycle quite a bit around town and do international Bikepacking trip once every 1.5 years that’s 3 weeks-2 months.

Where do you keep your sleep kit on the current setup?
Salsa cutthroat? Second hand wouldn’t be too expensive.
