I have an older wonerful trek 47 CM- but it is a tad too big for me. I am interested in a touring bike but not willing to spend over 1K. What do u suggest

Thanks. I’m not a tourer (yet), I’m a French 45 year old going to work in Paris with a bike on daily commute (we call it “velotaf” here, “velo” meaning “bike” and “taf” a slang word for “travailler = working”) looking for a bike I can also have fun with on weekends and resistant for multiple hits with the pavement.

I considered the ROVE AL (at 1.450€ in France) quite a few people use for “velotaf” here (paniers are also useful for transporting a laptop) and wondered if the BIG ROVE AL was the same bike except for the BIG APPLE tyres (fine with me, if not better thanks to the extra comfort) as the 2015 model is currently on sale at 900€, more in my budget.
