Hi there. I do all my cycling in the summer, usually between 30-40 mile rides, about half of which is on a canal towpath which can get a bit bumpy at times and half on road. I've been using a carrera kracken which is getting on a bit now and to be honest is a bit of a lump on the roads. I've got a thousand pound budget. I've done some research and like the look of the specialised diverge sport adventure bike and the gt grade tiagra adventure bike, although i think i might prefer upright handlebars more than drop. Are these ok for my needs or have you any more recommendations? Thanks in advance.
