Windsor Tourist 700c Chromoly Steel Touring Bike 27 Speed (Orange, 54cm)

There are only a few good choices when buying a high grade touring bike
Trek 520, Windsor Tourist, Co-Motion Nor’Wester, Rivendell Atlantis, and so on. These bikes are all high grade touring specific bikes that have many features in common – including price tags well over $1200.

You can do whatever you want with a Windsor Tourist, but if you’re anything like the guys at Windsor, you’re gonna want to travel unfamiliar blue-line highways on this bicycle. Maybe ride it to your reunion.
Windsor’s product engineers designed this bike for comfortable loaded touring. The angles of the butted, cro-moly frame are relaxed for stability, the wheelbase is long, the clearances around the wheels sufficient for fat, sturdy tires and fenders.

The wheels are especially strong, each built with 36, 14-gauge spokes laced into strong, double-wall aluminum rims with comfy riding Kenda Euro Trek long-distance tires on them.

The drivetrain, upgraded this year, is a durable mix of Shimano’s smooth shifting road and mountain components. Its a wide-range 27-speed Shimano STI/Sora/Deore setup, gears for the Smokies (up and down) and the desert southwest. The powerful yet simple, cantilever brakes are upgraded this year too.

Each Touring comes with: +FREE REAR ALUMINUM RACK WITH STAINLESS HARDWARE
AND a spare-double spoke-holder on the left chainstay. (Spare spokes not included)
The fork is also drilled for the ultra-stable low rider racks if you are really going to carry a load
You can buy a Tourist and never leave town. But if, come spring, you find yourself unfolding maps and staring out your office window…

We sell lots of bikes but it is generally hard to get any touring specific designs at less than $1200 up. The WINDSOR TOURIST is perfect for the Tourist, Commuter or Trekking Rider who wants a top quality bike – but does not want to spend over $1000 to do it.
