No mways just speed bumps and lots of filtering and the pan doesn't like filtering on the narrow lanes

Speed bumps? Sounds like you need a crosser Image
How long is your commute? If it's short I'd recommend an enduro style bike for your long legs.
If it's a long commute, then something with heated grips and wind deflectors/bark busters would be at the top of my list Image

PS How's the Pan European doing?
