Inexpensive bike for both touring and off road

the waterford wads a kidder.
comfort ? well, its gotta fit. probabbly means you gotta get measured.
the dea l here is your knees positioned for ROLLING around a power
stroke not mashing straight down.

the frame/bags/tires should rack straight on within your threshold for
correcting course changes, moment by moment.
uneeda variable height and reach bar/stem rig. am/fm/ac/pws....

ura gonna tour on paselas ? Albequeerkey ? you gotta sag wagon right ?


the BLT I know. whatsa LHT ? yeah visit the BLY website whathisname in
California, the photographer ?

left handed tank ?

trouble is tho dude, as soon as you walk into most bike shops and say
that, the dollar signs of "CUSTOM" start rolling in their eyes. and
everything just goes downhill from there. once you get talked into
custom, you get talked into steel [the lowest skill and tooling level]
and for a tourer, that can have serious disadvantages.

TRY a T-Serv on the rear: at the limit, wooden lika good yellow cab
but indestructabble. good for crossing the desert if not careening
down the rockies main channel.

light hollow tubing ?

I saw Bruce Gordon at Interbike, and you may be referring to his new
model that uses a frame from Taiwan. It's $925 for the frame, fork, and
front and rear racks.

I also took a picture of it at Interbike, see
"http://nordicgroup.us/interbike2008/IMG_0966.JPG" (neither of the men
in the picture is Bruce).

IMVAIO, it's not a wonderful deal, considering the price of a Long Haul
Trucker Complete, or an REI Randonee, both of which are also chromoloy
steel frames with good geometry for touring. And while Bruce Gordon's
racks are beautifully constructed of steel, the rear rack is too short
and sits too far forward to provide sufficient heal clearance for large
footed riders when using large panniers.

so "molly" has been dropped in favor of "moloy"? dude, you need fewer pets.

how about good torsional stiffness for touring? or is this simply a
faith-based supposition?
