I've look at the Tourist. It kills me they sell that bike with completely inappropriate gearing. What's up with that?
"TruVativ Touro Triple Road, 30/42/52T or FSA Vero 30/39/50T (No choice)"
That's fine for a road bike, but a touring bike? Really?
The Windsor Tourist comes with a 9-speed set up. Will a Sugino XD600 work? It's sold as a 7-8 speed setup.
