Repeat offender here: One of the twin T400s from a few posts up was pressed into road service for the 350 mile DALMAC ride from Lansing, MI to the Mackinac bridge.
I had planned to ride a Motobécane Grand Touring but it popped a spoke a week before the start, and I decided to play it safe and take a known-good bike.
Much like my ST600, these do just about anything well, with the T400 probably being the better tourer, and the ST a little more lively. But these are nits.
I swapped in a different front wheel and mounted 32 mm GP5000s, pumped to sixty or seventy pounds. It was a lovely ride even over deteriorated pavement.

Shown here on the shore of Lake Michigan, approx SW of the Bridge. A wonderful riding day with 20 mph tailwinds.
