Hello,I will pick up a Fuji Touring tomorrow and start rdniig it to work the next day. While it will serve primarily as my commuter bike, I may have to give the touring/camping idea some serious thought. The Touring is replacing a Fuji Regis (of unknown age) as my commuter bike. The Regis has been fine, but it is a little bit too small. And THAT is a perfect reason to get a new bike!The Touring that I am getting is black and has bar end shifters, which will take some time getting used to.I hope the Touring lasts a long time!Ray
