REI rant

Just bought a ADV 1.1 touring bike from REI 15% off (good) came in 4 days (very good) assembled and tested then boxed my butt (bad) the front disc caliper was not even close to centered on the rotors screeching was the sound of the day. The rear caliper was off center but it may have been only due to the fact that it had only one bolt tightened the second was loose, not even finger tight it two full turns before it hit home. The slop in the steering tube was the next issue to take care of. Then moved my Brooks over and was ready yo go.

Yea they tested this bike, NOT!

But with that said I have to admit I put just over 180 miles on it in three days and I like it
