Super Tourist. |

The Aravis Super Tourist (expedition bikes) are built onto a Reynolds 631 double butted, compact style touring frame, the top tube slopes back 6cm on this design of frame. The 17" size frames are a good choice for a tiny person with short legs, who has trouble finding a touring frame small enough to fit. They are also an excellent choice for long distance touring with loaded panniers. Now equipped with Outland cantilever brakes there is enough clearance for wide mudguards and 700 x 32 or 37mm tyres, which give a softer more cushioned ride. They are fitted with a Shimano Deore 46 x 36 x 26 triple chainset and 11 to 28 or 32 cassettes, the wider tyres and wide range of gears ensure that the bike will cope well when ridden on tarmac road or rough loose surface tracks. |

Specified with dropped handlebars, but also available with straight mountain bike style bars and Shimano rapid fire gear levers, for people who prefer this type of set up. This bike makes a good replacement for an old Dawes Galaxy and it is the best option for any cyclist who looking to purchase a modern style touring bike with good quality components. Over the last twenty six years the owners of this shop, have road tested this type of bike, touring many areas of the UK & Europe with the occasional venture to parts of the far east. Originally we used dropped handlebars but have recently changed to straight bars for a more relaxed position. We sometimes ride the Sustrans National Cycle Network and find straight bars make the bike more manageable when riding rough gravel tracks. |
