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