By comparison now I have Novarra Randonee with regular drop

On that Viaggio I eventually replaced handlebar with MTB style
one and put in steeper stem and made it sortta comfort bike.

Interesting

Thanks for that opinion

I'm going to REI on Say to ride and look at both bikes

I REALLY REALY need to take a tour this summer and want
to get going with it. I think my soul and body needs
to be outside in the fresh air for extended period of
time and away form desks, computers, cell phones, etc.
Ha!
