One of the more extensive builds coming out of the shop this month, this bike has it all. Nickel Plated masked and painted with three color branding.
It incorporates a super rad completely self sufficient lighting system coming from the power house SON 28 Schmidt Dynamo front hub that powers E3 supernova front and rear lights. This bike is completely off the grid! The internal routing though the fork and frame free the rider up from potential snags and gives the bike a cleaner look. Custom front and rear racks highlighting the cantilever gourds integrated into the design as well as a custom rear tail light mount that lives quietly under the non-drive side dropout. It runs a complete SRAM force 22 (11 speed) group with a Wifly rear derailuer and cassette for steep climbs. This Bike was commissioned by Ben Stark for a cross country ride coming up in the spring. I’ll be doing part of the journey with him and look forward to a bit of open road. Keep your eye out for more photo's from the trip.
