You can futz with the straddle height, and brake type too. I sorted the braking on my Long Haul Trucker by fitting IRD CAFAM brakes, and an aftermarket straddle kit made by Tektro (rather than the original link wires).I agree, the Country Traveller is/was a great value entry-level tourer. Mine has the cantis too, but I found that braking was transformed after I replaced the original blocks with Koolstops.
