"Way back when" I and everyone else rode whatever you had. You didn't need
anything "special" then, nor do you now. as a teen, I toured on a middle
of the road Trek 6something. The rims were probably narrow Rigidas and I
rode Specialized Touring Turbos in either 27 x 1-1/8 or 1-1/4. The crank
Roadeo, not the San Marcos, is the lightest Riv.

I'm 195 lbs and have owned a 58cm diagatube Hunq (now sold) and a 61cm
Waterford Atlantis. I'm on the bigger end of the spectrum, I guess, but I
think the Atlantis actually feels lively and cushy, especially compared to
the Hunq. I took it out on a mixed surface 100K this weekend, and it was a
Some good points have been raised here, and I'll echo the advice to ride
what you have until it doesn't work for you.
