credit card touring would be the way to go for ME. Just pack light and get there quicker.

the vintage 720's were the real deal. these new ones look ok.

I bought this bike for touring and it works really well. That is, everything except the wheels. the spokes don't last and have a nasty habit of breaking on a very regular basis. Frankly, they're rubbish. They can't be repaired on the road because they're J bend spokes and the disc gets in the way, so a straight pull spoke would solve the problem. However, on the road you'd need a centre lock spanner to do that, which is an unlikely tool to take on tour. The dealer repaired the wheels, but it's the same old story and I just can't trust the wheels (or Trek for that matter). So they'll be in the bin tomorrow and have been replaced with a set of Shimano WH-RX31s which do the job nicely. If only Trek hadn't gone for profit and tried to save money on the wheels; I'd have been happy to pay the extra. Shame on Trek!

Is the front/rear racks on the 720 standard or optional?
