Nice looking bike.
I have an REI Randonee and it has it's faults. Toe interference with the front wheel/fender and the bottle bracket will only take a short one. After I talked to the product manager at REI a couple of years ago they were going to change the bottle bracket mounting lugs further down. Don't know if they did it. That is a couple of things I would look at as well.
Wonder who makes this bike for them?
I keep thinking that I want the Novara Safari with 26" wheels or better yet an Rivendell Atlantis or Bruce Gordon. Only thing standing in my way is money.
