Cool, sounds like a deal.

I've always thought the frame seemed nice. I (like others here) am skeptical of the 28 spokes for long-term self-supported touring, especially back-country. But I'm open-minded.

CURIOSITY: Have you toured on it yet? Any touring particulars to report?

I have not toured on it yet. My wife also rides a 920, she retires in 6 days, so we are going to get busy traveling and living!

Good for you, buddy! The sweet life if just ahead. My wife still works for a couple more years, but I'm retired now and doing all the stuff that WILL NOT get in the way when she retires!

Giant Toughroad SLR 1

Just to throw another bike into the discussion. I don't own one, but when I first saw it at the LBS, I fell in love.

Color: Matte Sandstorm. Sounds dangerous. Looks more like beige to me. What irks me about Trek is their lame marketing. I guess some people buy into it, though. I agree Trek skimps on the wheels, which is probably the most common point of failure on a touring bike. It would be nice if they offered touring-grade wheels as an option.

And what’s with the floating rock behind the front wheel?
