Touring bikes

I'm trying to convince Aiden to bike touring in Taiwan in October.  He's so not into it and ambivalent - can you imagine?  Anyway, I'm definitely planning to go - in case you feel like an unusual Asian experience.  Below, messing around with Ev as the photographer.  Big blue - still the coolest - in photo-shopped flight.

Masi Giramondo - slightly weird yet beautiful bike - and for that reason the one to get.

Kona's Sutra - probably the most sensible choice, along with...

....Salsa's Marrakesh.
