bike quiz
Name 10 touring bikes, rideable "off the rack" (not frame-to-build-up) that cost $500 to $1500 (USA), that use Reynolds tubing.
Go.
p.s. I don't have the answer. I'm looking for that bike.

Not sure of the price of the Bianchi Volpe, but it's worth a look. I don't think the Trek, Bianchi or the Novara use Reynolds. Is chromoly steel ok? If you really want Reynolds tubing, I'd look for a used touring bike on ebay or Craiglist.

Jamis Aurora.
Jamis is pretty heavy on Reynolds tubing.
Just curious - why are you so set on the Reynolds brand? Tru Temper, Columbus, Dedacciai (sp?) and others all make fine steel tubing as well.

And, what if, there was such a bike, with Shimano XTR derailler and Avid brakes, etc., all put on a lugged frame with reynolds tubing, for under $1000 USA, and I didn't know it and bought something else?
My list includes:
Trek 520
Jamis Aurora
Bianchi Volpe

If you're worried about not getting your money's worth out of a new bike... and that's not the least bit paranoid, do yourself a favor and go to REI. Nobody supports their products like REI.
