new to touring and in need of advice!

I'm 5'6" and ride a 49cm Ultragalaxy - but I do have women's short reach bars on it and have the saddle quite far forward.

If I had my choice again (the ultra was a proper bargain which could not be missed) I would have a hewitt cheviot.

That's exactly the same for me!

The Ultras are far from being a bargain these days. I'd also definitely look at a hewitt cheviot.

That photo is beginning to haunt me!

It haunts our dreams!

It haunts our dreams!

Dreams! You're lucky, it haunts most of my waking moments too!
