Probably a great bike, but you can count me out for gumwalls and 1950s kitchen appliance green paint.

Does anyone have many miles on one? Thoughts?

I have a drop bar 29er SS, I've looked at the Niner RLT, Salsa Vaya, Spec Sequia, etc. But I'm keep coming back to the Standard Rando.

With the nomenclature "Standard Rando" you'd think there would at least be a set of higher fork eyelets for a front mini rack. Something that is standard in randonneuring.

It's a fine rig for the money as I almost bought one last year for commuting/touring, but the real deal breaker besides the lack of front rack mounting is the pressfit bb.
