I heard that too. I agree it's a shame it moved. I don't have a vehicle so am not sure if I'll make the trek to the bike show since it would mean renting a vehicle or talking my sister into taking me.

Haha - you're not alone in thinking that! I heard back from the ebay seller today on my question so I'm now debating still getting the Traveler as well. It's a vicious cycle. :lol:

I have an interesting update. Before I moved to Michigan, I'd sold my beloved Le Tour mixte to a bike shop in Arizona. It occurred to me that they might not have sold the bike yet, so I called them...
