Yes, I've set my budget so that I won't have to cry if it explodes on the first day (well, from an economic standpoint anyway).

Thinking of a sport/tour, although I also like how adv bikes look. I'm thinking I might be better off buying a 2nd hand from a dealer.. they're a bit more expensive, but they come with a full service round and warranty. Whith me having no idea what to technically look for and all.
