This is a replica of our infamous Chuck Explorer 650B / 2020 Showbike which we build for Ralf.
Ralf is an absolut bike nerd and has build for him and his husband a full range of extremly well build up bikes over past years. His own bikes are so good, I could actually directly employ him here at Fern as a bike mechanic! So stakes were high when Ralf came to us with the idea of building the ultimate touring bike for him, but I guess we did quite a good job as well ;)
The bike is equipped with only the finest parts from Garbaruk, Tune, Thomson, Busch & Müller, Gevenalle, DT Swiss, etc. Also featuring custom handmade rear racks and for sure our infamous trademark slingshot stem! Paintjob as usual by Spaceman-Rob, aka Velociao and as usual an amazing full custom set of bags made by my love Tine at Gramm-Tourpacking.
I hope you will have many great adventures on this fantastic bike and it was realy a pleasure to work with you Ralf!
