I bought one off of Ebay myself, and I'm using it as my daily commuter, so far. Other than changing out the pedals and the saddle, its pretty much "as is." I LOVE the brown, the decals, e.t.c. I know, nothing real helpful there in terms of using it as a real touring bike. I bought it b/c I wanted to get into commuting, and I needing something tall enough for me (I'm 6' 5'').
