You know this is a good point above I think this is another thing I'm disliking abt the Novara Randonee..... the narrower tires At age 50 I don't have the "balance: I used to have.... and the narrower touring bike tires (as compared to a fatter 26" mt bike slick) makes me a bit nervous when riding over cracks and seams in the road. Any thoughts or agreement on this? J. Brandt is in his mid 70's and rides a road bike with 25-mm tires on things like hiking trails and unimproved roads. Maybe if we all chipped in for some 32mm Paselas, he'd be less grouchy. Maybe Jobst would prefer a bottle of Jim Beam instead. -- Tom Sherman - Holstein-Friesland Bovinia The weather is here, wish you were beautiful |

The only bit you could even potentially say was in less than fine condition was the fact that it had those God-awful Mafac Racer brakes. |
