In August decided to cycle from London to Paris with a friend. Although I'm a courier and have been using a single speed, need to buy a geared bike.
Although recently been educating myself on cycle cross bikes being more comfortable and durable on off road, which I "may" need?
Still yet to plan route/ into the details of the ride.
But from your experience should I go for a road bike or cycle cross? I will most likely buy it used and atm looking at a eBay Ribble 7005 audax road bike for £300, and hoping that would be efficient? I used to own triban btwin 520s and found them amazing.

Any suggestions are welcome etc, sorry if I've written too much or begging for help lol :D
