Reply to comment by HairyBull in Looking for bicycle recommendations by Sargaxon

Thank you for the advice, much appreciated!

So what would you recommend I should be looking out for? What is must have, what is nice to have, and what should I avoid?

I would look for a second hand gravel bike for your needs.

I wouldn’t discount old cyclocross bikes even the real old ones , I ride a thirty year old Alan cyclocross every day only cost me €100.00

What I’d be looking for.

GRAVEL: Scott , Specialised , Cannondale , Trek , Kona

vintage cyclocros: Alan , Wilier , Bianci , Peugeot , Motobecane , Eddy Merckx , Colnago

Should have also mentioned that you will find second hand bikes way cheaper in Italy
