    What’s that, a steel frame, running rim brakes, bar-end shifters and a 1” quill stem??

    Looks good and almost
    Looks good and almost certainly does what it says on the tin – “classic tourer”.

    … But – horizontal drop-outs on a tourer though? Is this “frameset re-use” from eg. their “Classic Singlespeed” or for the Rohloff-fanciers? Doubt the latter as I’m not seeing they offer that as an option (would double the price! ). Curious.

    Also the quoted weight is rather light for a steel tourer (mind I’m probably judging by a couple of decades back…)

    I happily toured on 28mm tyres for years but now would probably go a bit larger – but it looks like it is indeed “classic” and might struggle.

    I’m not sure I will be buying new bikes again after my last eloped with a thief, returned but keeps bucking me off… but my decades-old upright tourer is now not in a condition I’d trust on a tour. So if I fancy a non-recumbent mission … (talks self into visiting site)…

    Bit I do have to say to this

    But I do have to say to this rider, cover your shoulders and that bit of midriff – otherwise sunburn and windchill will come for you.

    Coincidence but I was just

    Coincidence but I was just browsing the Temple site. My boss keeps dropping hints about the cycle to work schemes, and Temple’s bikes are very nice…
