I'd say a tourist vs. a LHT (since they're comparable).
Wrong, compare a Winsdor tourist and a Fuji Tour. They are the same bike, geometry, and parts spec. However, there is a price difference.
That is what I would be more interested in seeing, a comprehensive list of BD bikes and their identical name brand models. As it happens, th e Tourist / Tour is th eonly one I know. I suspect that some manufacturer agreement keeps BD from publishing the list. Does anyone know of any others? Again, i am not asking about similar role bikes, I am asking about bikes that are the same other than the label.
