Hey Guys,

If you are a tourer and not a collector this is one sweet bike - falls in the category of a Miyata 1000, Specialized Expedition, a Centurion Pro 15, a couple of high end Fugi's, and Klein Navigators. They are getting harder to find and are usually beat or you have to build them up . If I hadn't just made $150 for a Trek 750 frame I would of bought this. Another trend is higher end older mountain bikes which people are buying and building into tourers and look the prices recently for retro 110 touring cranks. Just go to the touring section and get a education. Long wheel base 531 tubeset are hot - add tubus racks, throw on some Marathon Pluses maybe spread the rear, some Dura Bar ends - and your are big bucks ahead and quality of a new bike.
