Touring Bike Recommendations?

I'm looking for a touring bike (under $2000 price range). Any recommendations? Any opinions on the most important and/or preferred features? Most bike shops that I've been to in my area don't seem to carry many strictly touring bikes. Some that I've seen in the bike shops include: Cannondale T1000, Trek 520, and the Trek 2120. One bike shop that did seem to have a pretty extensive collection of all types of bikes, also would build custom bikes (but would likely be a tad expensive ;-). I would appreciate any recommendations and/or input on good/bad experiences with particular touring bikes/features. Thanks. --Vic I would recommend the Surly Long Haul Trucker with disc brakes. See https://surlybikes.com/bikes/disc_trucker. These are about $1600 so they are within your price range. |

Now if we could just get that message to him, back in time... -- - Frank Krygowski |

It's a little-known fact that the Surly Disc LHT has a mount for a compact flux capacitor in the BB shell and stay mounts for a Mr. Fusion. Mark J. [It's otherwise a great bike, too] |
