Hello Tom,
Thanks a lot for your help. I decided to get the Charge Filter HI with disc brake so I can do commuting and also the bike can do 700x35 or more so I can use it to do C&O trip. I would love to ask you more about the detail how to do the trip since you did it few times already. Where are you located? MD or VA?
Thank you.

Gear Talk / Bike advises for C&O

Hello,
I am new for touring , i am looking to get a light touring bike + commuter. However, the ultimate goal is doing a trip on C&O from DC to Cumberland or may be from Cumberland to DC.

I don't know which bike I should get for C&O road condition. I am thinking of

1. 2013 Charge Filter HI with disc brake , tiagra 11-28  and 46-36 crank.

2. Or a regular cross bike.

3. May be a 29er mountain bike hard tail.

Thank you very much for your help.
