Probably the best-looking "production-grade" bike of day one was the Raleigh Sojourn. I spoke with folks from Raleigh about this one and they are obviously really excited to bring a bike to a market where people typically spend well over $1000 on the frame alone. The Sojourn had some nice, simple touches that really dressed it up. The first thing that stands out is the bar-protector. These are pretty common on track bikes where there are no brake cables to keep the bars from denting your top-tube, but this chrome one really added a touch of class. The spare spoke holder is a pretty trick add-on as well. The tubing is tried and true Reynolds 520 steel. All-day comfort in a touring bike - just what the (back/hand/neck) doctor ordered. The Saddle is a pre-worn Brooks with matching bar-tape. The rear rack comes stock, and they are working out the front-end kinks to get the front rack going as well. The downside (sorta) is that it's HEAVY. I'd guess that 30lbs isn't out of the question. All told, it's a really nice off-the-shelf touring bike that looks great - and for $999 - you can't beat the price.
