This is festive and very elegant bike we created for Jens is the last one we finished in 2020 and brings a little bit of glow and shine into this otherwise not so bright year. Jens is an avid club cyclist so we created a fast and snappy sportif bicycle, suitable as good for fast riding aswell as for long distance randonneur cycling. The bike can even be equipped with a lowrider rack and Gramm Tourpacking bags transforming it into a light touring bike. The bike runs fast on Ryde CSS carbide coated rims, DT swiss rear hub and 38mm Barlow Pass Rene Herse Tires. For offroad riding the bike can be equipped with 46mm Snoqalmie Pass tires. We also provided a second, more "mountainious" drivetrain with lower gearing. This beauty can do pretty much everything you can only want from just one bicycle!
The frame is made from the finest Columbus superthinwall tubing and features our handmade signature double plate forkcrown and deluxe stem. Diamond front rack and headset by our own brand ALLYGN components are available in our online shop now!
Trouble free 1x11 drivetrain with Gevenalle Shifters and Wolftooth Chainring on our custom anodized vintage Dura Ace cranksets. Lovely details and saddle made by our friends Gilles Berthoud. Lights and electricity as usual by SON. The amazing handmade carbon fenders by my fellow framebuilding friend Mawis blend in just perfectly into this elegant ensemble.
But probably the nicest feature on this bike is the amazing paintjob Robert at Velociao delivered here including the absolute eyecatching colourmatching painted Silca frame pump and Rene Herse Tailllight!
Hopefully we can share some miles together with the Berlin Randonneurs in 2021, but who knows what will happen... But none the less, I'm sure you will have a lot of fun your new Fern Bicyle Jens!
