I think Tim is right, this is probably an All-Rounder with flat bars. The giveaway is the level top tube, the Mountain-Expedition had a sloping TT. The bike on Cyclofiend's site is the M/E I once owned, which I believe to be the bike used for the catalog photos. I bought it at a "need- cash-now"

It's an old WT (wilderness trails) bar that I acquired a few years ago. It's been sitting in my shop waiting for the perfect use. I've got it hemped and shellacked, and it feels pretty good overall. On Jun 16, 2011, at 8:52 AM, Leslie wrote: > David, what bars do you have on that bike? > >

Thanks for the note, Bill. I haven't been able to ride as much this year as I would normally get to. I'm a private practice mental health therapist and I own my own business. Business is very, very good. . . but that's not good for my riding. I'm hoping to do better in the second half of the
