Re: which bike for work
Bandit, the amount of luggage you can throw on them things is great (three hard panniers and a hole rear seat stacked in stuff).

Re: which bike for work
Hiring for a month will be pricey. Cheaper to buy a second hand one and sell it if it doesn't work out as any slight loss made on it is likely to be less than the cost of hiring. The new shape deauville with the "baguette" hole between the panniers would tempt me.

Re: which bike for work
Id still consider a Pan.Great load carriers,and solid as a rock.Anything you get will need bulking up with luggage so that is unlikely to make much difference.
