The Cannondale Tesoro Traveller Classic is what it says it is – a tourer in the classic, British drop handlebar mould. Using a beautiful and compliant aluminium frame crafted using their legendary expertise with the material, Cannondale have added a pair of extra strong 700c wheels driven by a broad range of high quality Shimano road gearing. Kitted with the best racks available from Tubus, front and rear, a suspension seat post and the classic Brooks B17 leather saddle, this bike will carry you and your equipment all day in smooth, efficient comfort. The high position of the drop handlebar allows an even weight distribution between saddle and handlebars and allows a good view without back or neck ache, something you’ll appreciate during the course of a day. It’s quite likely that at the end of a day’s ride, the mile count will surprise you.

Why not steel? Aluminium doesn't have to be so stiff say Cannondale, who pioneered aluminium bicycle frame construction way back in the eighties. By careful design, the thickness of the walls of aluminium tubing can be manipulated to be stiff where necessary and a little more compliant where not. The result is a frame that is not only lighter, but also more responsive they argue. Cannondale only has to point to the sales of this touring bike over the years in order to prove their point. We've sold plenty and had no complaints yet!
