I am starting to daydream about replacing my 99 Stratus. It continues to be a faithful bike for touring and commuting, but I cannot deny that I have the itch to be another! I also own a Strada. The convenience of one size tire/tube has me interested in the Ranger. This bike looks bullet proof, comfortable and stable. I like the LWB format for touring. I like the low BB for commuting. What's the verdict on the Ranger?
I road one at the Interbike dirt test area two years ago and loved it. I was nipping the tails of mountain bikers. It tracked excellently. It was even graceful on the BMX track. Didn't have a chance to do any touring with it. But it manuevered with confidence.
Best Regards,
Mark.

I've had an iron clad stomach installed, so now I check this group out every once in a while.
Best Regards,
