Last week a posed a question about local dealers for touring bikes. Thanks to all those that responded.
Touring bikes are hard to come by, and most dealers only have 1 or 2 in stock. Your in luck if they have your size, as if it's not in stock, they probably can't get one in this year. I ended up purchasing a 2001 Mikado D'Iberville touring bike from Fresh Air. Chromoly frame, Shimano 105, etc. The specs have changed with this years bike, but you can see what Mikado is offering at http://www.mikadobicycles.ca/ I was very tempted by the the Eclipse at Peccos in Hull, but a combination of: a history of bad service, no 3rd water bottle braze-on, only 32 spoke wheels, and a stiff aluminum frame kept me from it. It feels good to be back on a touring bike. Not as responsive as my road bike, but a lot more comfortable on less than optimum roads. Now where did I put that route map to Nova Scotia? regards, ,__o Greg Goodwin _-\_<, "Life's a Journey, not a Destination" (*)/'(*) [EMAIL PROTECTED] Ottawa, Ontario, Canada http://www.magma.ca/~whitey ------------------------------------------------- For list help, please send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Club Office: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (613) 230-1064 Web/mailing list: [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.cyberus.ca/~obcweb Newsletter: [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.cyberus.ca/~obcweb/Newsletter ------------------------------------------------- ==^================================================================ This email was sent to: [email protected] EASY UNSUBSCRIBE click here: http://topica.com/u/?aVxiDo.a2i8p1 Or send an email to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] T O P I C A -- Register now to manage your mail! http://www.topica.com/partner/tag02/register ==^================================================================
