This bike we created for Jonny, a truly cosmopolitian guy... living in Utah, New York, Berlin and Paris he now has the perfect travel companion to come along on his journeys around the world! The Chuck 650B already being one of the most versatile bikes we make, this one features a second wheelset to apdapt the bike to different riding situations. Smooth 55mm Conti Speedkings for fast offroad and gravel riding and another wheelset equipped with Rene Herse 48mm Switchback Hill Extralight tires, which will also allow to use a set of custom black anodized Honjo fenders, which will transform this offroad bike into a proper touring and brevet bicycle. Super wide range 11-50 GRX drivetrain tuned up with Garbaruk components. One Up dropper post fun to be operated with left hand shift lever allowing to bump and jump around when it's getting rough!
A complete set of Gramm-Tourpacking can be arranged for proper bike packing adventures as well as for short daily commutes. Colour matching paint as usual by our man Rob @ Velociao .

Can't wait to see you explore the Utah mountains on this amazing machine Jonny ;)
