Just a point of info: my wife bought the 09 Randonee, which came with the LX and 11x32. She's had some trouble with slippage on the cassette. When we took it in for the post-sale adjustment, we were told that there has been some trouble with the drivetrain and the STI shifting in the 09's with that setup. The fix has been to switch out to the 105 and 11x28, and newer 09 Randonee's come that way, I think, but as said previously, you then give up some of the range. The bike shop manager/mechanic at REI, who's very well qualified, has tried to adjust things with the existing parts. We'll pick up the bike this weekend and hopefully have a chance to ride and see how things are running.
