cycling

i want to get a faster bike for touring but also want to be able to ride on the gravely broken pavement on some of the Dutch paths. Been dreaming of a specialized but i'm thinking a sturdier frame might be better to carry luggage ok. Maybe I'm overthinking it...

Would really like to tour France too but they have mad hills
