I have used it to transport a weeks worth of groceries or tent and supplies for a long weekend self-sustaining ride.

Best bike I've owned for everything but racing. Even at that the gear ratios are great for some high speed travel (30+ MPH on flats)

This thread DIED in December of 2003 Just because it shows up as new on page 95 on the post list does NOT make it an active topic. Check your dates and have some friggen respect for the dead
