Advice on a touring bike?

[CatSilver]

I don't know how to move a thread - I'm a newcomer here... if anyone knows how to do it, I'd be happy to move this to the new Touring category.

I might be crazy, but I put in an order for the Terry Isis Sport tonight. The bike's backordered til May 28, and I intend to have it assembled, fitted and then ride it to see if it's what I want. Terry sez they'll accept a return if I'm not happy (I pay shipping, I think) - which seems like a fair offer.

One of the hardest parts of life these days (for me) is sorting through the overwhelming choices when it comes to major purchases. As much as I appreciate all the info available to us via the internet, etc., I sometimes miss the days when buying something was a simpler process, just by virtue of fewer choices and info... *sigh* Showing my age, I guess.

Enjoy! I think its a great choice!! Its a very versatile bike which it sounds like is what you are looking for. Tell us more about her when she comes.

Let us know how you like it. I just bought a LeMond Poprad frameset and am in the process of building it pretty much how the Isis Sport is, road triple plus mountain cassette and rear derailleur. I didn't know the Isis came with rack/fender mounts.

Hope it works out!
