No crash but maybe it is coming. A coworker asked my opinion on a touring bike for his senior HS son, for an organized trip in the Alps summer 2019. I steered him towards a number of late 80s through early 00s touring bikes. (There are quite a few here in SLO/Santa Barbara late summer.) Any his spouse said needs to be new, a used bike might break. Of course i said i could check out any bike they find. Went to the weight weenie store and was sold a Raleigh Willard. Disc brakes, carbon fork, 1x something. I said cool bike. Tour group says bike won't work because of 28 spoke wheels. And after reading above, the touchy brakes would rattle me for sure. So, its difficult to offer a cost effective option when there are lots of shiny objects to grab one's attention. mike SLO CA
