Bicycling Magazine called it everything a touring bike should be. So, who are we to disagree?

Load it up! Classic touring frame accommodates fore and aft racks and fenders—rear rack provided (front rack and fenders sold separately)
Chromoly frame is double butted for added strength under heavy loads; tubes are thick at the ends, narrowing once toward the center
Long wheelbase and low center of gravity optimize stability and handling under heavy loads and high speeds
Shimano touring gruppo provides smooth shifting through a gear range designed to get bike, rider and equipment up and over mountain passes
Lightweight Mavic A319S rims and puncture-resistant Vittoria Randonneur tires have the durability needed to log long miles
Ritchey angle-adjustable stem allows a precise fit and Ritchey Biomax handlebars offer comfort over the miles
Keep the cadence you want—27 speeds let you adjust for the smallest changes in wind and terrain
Shimano brakes and brake levers provide reliable stopping power; cantilever configuration allows ample room for fenders front and back
Streamline Fizik Rondine saddle is anatomically contoured and padded for support and comfort during long days on the road
No fancy shoes required—platform pedals with toe clips accommodate many casual shoes (but we suggest supportive cycling shoes for long rides)
And just to make sure we thought of your every need, Randonee includes a spare spoke mounted on a seat stay
Remember, REI also sells all the accessories—ultralight tents, sleeping bags, stoves— you require for an epic cycling adventure

After an initial break-in period you might notice your bicycle performing less responsively than the day you brought it home. Not to worry, this is typical of all new bicycles and simply reflects that cables have stretched or their housings have seated themselves into final position. To keep running at peak performance, all REI bicycles come with a FREE warranty tune-up, which should be accomplished between the first 100-200 miles of riding or after the first two months if you're accumulating miles less quickly. Contact your nearest REI bike shop for details and an appointment for this important service.

Imported.
