Opus Largo

MSRP $1160 CAD

With classic styling and top-end modern components (Shimano Deore rear derailleur and nine speed Sora drive train coupled with FSA Vero triple crank) this is a snappy little touring bike that handles like a thoroughbred when unloaded and carries weight like a workhorse. With a full load on the front and rear, the Largo seems glued to the pavement, and even on light gravel is stable. My only concern would be about the shifters – the integrated brake shifters (Shimano Sora ST-3400) would be a real challenge to fix if they broke on tour and seemed a bit loose.
