This amazing bike we created for Lilli who already owns the Traveleur showbike which we built in 2018. This new bike is a multi purpose Randonneur / Touring Bicycle which can be set up with two different size wheel sets, making it even more versatile. One is rolling on 700c x 35mm Bon Jon Pass Rene Herse tires mounted on H PLUS Son rims and the other one on 650B x 48mm Switchback Hill tires and DT Swiss XR-331 rims. Due to the amazing swap shell hub concept of the Kindernay 14 speed internally geared rear hub you can easily switch the wheelsets with just one rear hub for both wheelsets. Customized hydraulic shifters for smooth shifting action. TRP Hylex hydraulic disc brakes paired with GRX sublevers for save braking in very position.
The bikes frame is made as usual only from the finest selection of Columbus tubes, including nice touches as fully internal cable routing and and very nice Paragon Rocker Dropouts. The Fork features Fern's own direct flatmount standard. Custom made Fern Deluxe Stem. All racks are custom made by Fern and only available for complete Fern Bicycles.
The bike is fully illuminated and electrified by SON (Schmidts Original Nabendynamo) components. Dry feet provided by Velo Orange with additional help of our friends at Ass Savers. Spinning by Middleburn, sitting on Brooks with Thomson, steering with our own brand's Allygn headset and ESI handlebartape for a sure grip.
Lilli is an avid mountaineer and skier and she loves the mountains, ice and snow and the glaciers. Together with Robert at Velociao we created this amazing glacial colour sheme which perfectly matches Lillis lifestyle. Hope you'll have a lot of adventures not only in the winter season on your new ice cool Fern Bike Lilli! ;)
