Hi. Would love some advice on buying a mountain that can also be used as a touring bike. Thought I would stick some panniers on and change the tyres. Maybe the wheels to? Wanted hard tail with maybe lock out front suspension. Think I will go for V brakes and discs might complicate things while travelling (basically I can fix v brakes!) I am not too hard on the bike while mtb'ing but want something that won't snap on a small drop off. As an example it needs to cope with likes of Marin and Llandegla black. Budget is around £400. Am I asking too much? Thanks. Sam x
