I am an ex-runner whose equipment (i. e. legs, feet) have given out.
My doctor has suggested taht bicycle touring would give me tha same
type exercise and not be as hard on my body. Consequently, I have been looking
for a touring bike for both my wife and myself. I've been looking 
at the following models:


		Peugeot P8
		Connondale st400
		Shwinn letour
		Miyata 210

If anyone has had experience with these models or can steer me to ones
Iv'e overlooked, please reply to me by mail. I'll keep the responses if anyone
else is interested. Also, any advice in getting started will help.
My wife and I are in pretty good shape (I ran around 75 miles/week up to
a couple weeks ago).
