Some VERY nice bikes in this thread. They all look like they want to be on the road, instead of posing for pics, hehe. I only have two, and only one is officially a touring bike. The Voyageur has no braze ons and caliper brakes, but they called it a tourer, right? The Shogun I haven't even started on yet. I found it a few days ago in a pawn shop for $40. It will get paint at the least, and probably new wheels, etc etc... Canti brakes on lugged steel. I love the way it looks, the color will be the paint I originally intended for the Le Tour project I never got going on. A light orange metallic, ala coppertone "esque". Should look sweet.,,,,BD
81 Schwinn Voyageur 11.8. I've been able to ride it about 15 minutes so far. Been raining every day for a month it seems.
Unknown year Shogun Alpine GT. What I consider a "true" touring bike with canti brakes, mucho braze ons, thicker tires, etc. Anyone want to venture a year model guess?
