Hello
What Tesoro model are you looking at?
I was looking at the 2010 Cannondale catalog this week-end, and I got fixed on the Tesoro Traveller Classic :-)
Unfortunately they didn't have it in stock at my lbs...

I am planning to buy a new bike in fact, would be my single and only bike for commuting, touring, leisure and recreational trips with friends on a sunday afternoon.

I am afraid this bike would be a bit on the heavy side though, as my touring is roughly 10% of my total riding time.
But it is FULLY equiped with Shimano 105 equipments!

The catalog doesn't give any information on weight, and cassette/chainrings values though...
Do you happen to have an idea?

Cheers
Fadi
