It would be great to know how many they really sold. There's someone, somewhere with a big nose who knows.
It was really ahead of its time, and it's arguably more relevant now than any other model in the lineup. Gravel bike? Adventure bike?
The Geometry is Touring really. Mine is 54cm seat tube with a 56/57cm top tube. That’s the same as my Carlton Corsair GT which is classic touring. MTB gear on it does make it an adventure bike. I’m very happy with it. Huge bar width. 48m c-t-c (IIRC) which again is very modern.
Thought I would share a current pic of the '87 courier. I appreciate this is probably marmite to some, and on the fringes of the general retrobike type following, but I like it.
