I am a Trek kinda guy, which is apparently good, because I like girls a lot, too. More than bikes, even. I haven't noticed that they fling themselves into my path when I ride by, tho...

the 520 is a very nice touring bike. It has exactly the same geometry as the other '20's in the Trek line at the time (the 720 was the best touring bike that year, I think). If you like 'em cushy, then this should meet your needs very well. I'd look hard at the brakes if you are planning to really tour with a load, though. Victory's are, um, exciting in situations where you really need to stop.
