A friend e-mailedwondering if he should get this bike. It's sold at REI. I couldn't find anything about it except on the REI site. It is a house brand? I'm not familair with the Shimano components either. Cost $750. Seems to me there might be other bike that would be better. Below is what REI says about it. Thanks, Barb Built to take on the rough road ahead--this bike has features designed for easy-touring comfort on pavement as well as gravel Now featuring Delta front and rear racks, plus other upgrades all for a price lower than previous years Aluminum alloy, double-butted frame is strong yet lightweight; chromoly, double butted front forks are built for solid steering under heavy loads Shimano Nexave 24-speed drivetrain designed for ease of use and reliability with low maintenance; ideal for the loads and long distances of touring Nexave offers intuitive shifting with the same operation for both left and right levers; thumb levers up shift, tap buttons down shift Polygon Cushy seat post and Softride chromoly suspension stem soak up the bumps Mavic 221 rims with stainless-steel spokes, Shimano Deore front and rear hubs create high-performance wheels for on- and off-road Unique handlebars allow a variety of hand positions and the newly revised Selle Royal Forma saddle add to the comfort GEAX tires are built for versatility with a high speed center tread for pavement and traction shoulders for off-road riding I am using a Safari for my bike trip form Alaska to Argentina(2w2c.com), bought it a bit ago to start breaking in, and I love it. The bars are great, preset to upgrade to disc brakes is amazing, and the price cant be beat. Plus, REI support anywhere you can find a shop. Thanks for the review and the info. I whole heartedly support the Safari. |
