My first real bike was a tourer, only ... I wasn't a tourer.
But I loved the gearing riding in the Santa Cruz mountains and kept it more than 20 years.
Couple of credit card tours down Hwy 1 is as far as I got.
'84 ProTour
My 2nd 'tourer' is the only bike I have moved on that is genuinely and dearly missed. Never weighed it, but it rode light. R531 throughout.
'59 Rickert
