This is my 2006 Pereira "heavy tourer", built with fillet-brazed steel. I also use it as my daily commuter here in Boulder, CO. The geometry is like that of a 29er mountain bike, but with a lower bottom bracket and longer chainstays. The frame is very stiff, so it's at its best fully loaded for touring (or coming home from the store with a week's worth of groceries). So far it has about 18,000 miles.
