My trusty 15 y.o "cross" or hybrid is dead.

I want a strong, large framed bike which will give me an upright straight backed riding position,
which will handle a fire trail for bush camping

Blackheath to Mittagong on the old one) but mostly on road weekend rambles/touring.

In Orange the best I've been offered is the top of the range Merida (about $1500).

Any comments on Merida- or alternative suggestions?

Nothing wrong with Merida frames, they are quality made in Taiwan. I have two.

Great Taiwanese made quality. I have one and would happily buy another one. Paint appears to be
tougher and more scratch resistant than my other bikes.

Just bought one a month ago. Very happy with it. Smooth and comfortable to ride and great
for cruising.
