It was just a flippant comment. Jeeze. Sorry.

I'm afraid I finally gave away my Trek 520 about 8 years ago. I had a Miyata 1000 ca. 1981 - 1989. Did a lot of touring on those, but haven't been since breeding and blimping, but if I ever do again, the Trucker is high on my list (which ideally would be the Venn diagram intersection of steel frames, hydraulic road bike brakes, and a triple).
