My dream bike

Trek 520

OK, most people have dream cars, dream houses, etc…well I have a dream bike. While most people are going for ultra-light road bikes…I’m looking at something a bit heavier…a solid touring bike! For the types of rides I like to do, I need to balance weight with strength…something that is going to stand up to the 100s of miles a week I put on my bike and the weight of loaded bags.
