I am doing a bike across the US for the American Lung Association
starting June 23. I need a touring bike, as the bike I had ordered
for the trip will not be ready. Please let me know if you know of a
dealer that might have this type of bike in their inventory. I will
pay shipping charges. You can reach me at roseanneb@xxxxxxxx
Thanks for your assistance, Rosie Browne
FWFW 27" wheels ain't gonna happen. Bikes haven't been sold with that
size wheels in close to 20 years. 700C is the norm for touring bikes.
A 17" (43 cm) bike is pretty small and you might actually do better with
one designed for 26" wheels. The frame geometry compromises are
considerable with small bikes and 700C wheels.

These bikes are well-liked by everyone I've talked to that owns one.
It's usually their favorite bike.
