Thanks for the suggestion. If you don't mind me asking another question, what general demerits can I expect from an older bike?

Just the bike + storage (panniers etc)

I used to be quite an avid cyclist and I've got an itch to return to try out touring though I haven't got a functional bike. I thought a smaller expedition would be a good start, though, as a poor student I'm financially limited (so I'm assuming pre-owned is the way to go, and I have no problems with it). I'm planning to go on a journey from the east of England to the west of Wales

Thanks in advance for any suggestions
