What do you want a bike for? want to take up bike touring in retirement ? then by all means get a touring bike..

ride loops from your house & back, your classic road bike will be good enough..

Me?

I just clocked 70 a year ago I use my Bike Friday more than any others , now.. They have legions of people touring on them around the globe..

Newest NWT with Disc Brakes you can go with 451 fast wheels or 406 wide rugged ones both nominal 20"..


I gain the benefits of a step thru frame functionally..

long list of options bike built to order when your list comes up in the building queue..


give them a chat , say what you like about your bike, speak about what you want different..
You can even take the train, between Seattle & Eugene & visit them, there..





for actually touring they pack in a suitcase, no dragging a big box through the airports..



NB; When my leg /hip was not flexing well, I laid the diamond frame down, stepped over it, and then brought the bike underneath me..
