seconds at 56K dial up. I didn't want to compress the
pictures too much.
I never rode it on a significant tour-- Only ridden it less
that 500 miles and the 1st owner allegedly used it for only
"one tour in Colorado." I bought it on consignment from a
local bike shop. The bike shows all the signs of careful
handling and loving care.

(russells at russells dot com) am not an anonymous person
"out there" on the internet. I am well known in my community
and in the Dallas real estate industry. You would not buy
this bike and feel like anything I have stated is a
misrepresentation.
I know somebody is looking for an outstanding touring bike
and will use this in a way that I never will. I appreciate
quality and felt like it was a deal that I couldn't pass up,
(my wife agreed...) but now I know I'm not going to do long
self-contained touring like this bike can give a rider.
It *is* light weight and with smaller tires and no racks I
was able to keep up with the fast guys on group rides... Uh,
sorry. You caught me. I never could keep up with the fast
guys--- but the bike *will* go fast.
Send me an email or give me a call with any questions. (Cell
phone on the web site.)
