It's a lovely bike, but it's hard to imagine someone who wants a rim brake tourer doesn't already have one. Or two.

These bikes need to be light, fast and responsive, but their most important quality is comfort for the long hours riders spend in the saddle. All the models in this range include mudguard and carrier eyelets and two sets of bottle cage bosses.

Yes, definitely.

Reminded me of this:

Is that for riders with extra long legs but regular length body and arms?
Like traditional British frame geometry. Go Tall or Go home

Maybe for tall riders with bad backs. Geometry is Pedersen like.

Tall people are statistically more likely to have both bad backs and more money!

I've got one of those.....

Sadly not the second.....

One of my elderly neighbours remembers an old boy who walked 6 miles to work in the tinplate works and 6 miles back (1940s)- I asked why he didn't buy a bike, and he said he couldn't afford it!

So you're tall,
got a bad back,
And can afford a bike (or two)...
Count yourselves lucky!
