Today's Schwinn LeTour-like bike?
Hello,
Is there a bike that might be considered equivalent to my old Schwinn LeTour? By that I mean: Rides real nice, kind of relaxed geometry, long chain stays so I don't kick the panniers with my size 14 feet. Not a full touring bike or a racing bike but more of a day tripper.
Thanks.

Thanks.
