Scored this bike yesterday (minus the brooks saddle and wheels. I threw those on for a test ride) for $50. Serial code starts with an R, which I am seeing is a 2006. However, I don’t see this paint color in either the 2006 or 2007 catalog. The paint has map background all over the frame. Shifters are 105 flight deck. Rear derailleur is deore xt. It’s missing a front derailleur. Crank and front chainring also are not original. But holy crap! It rides amazing and shifts great.
Does anyone have any insight on what year and whether this is a Touring 1 or Touring 2? Any experiences with this bike?
