This is Daniel's finalized 650B Disc Chico, which he already successfully raced in a prototype state in the 2019 PBP edition. The bike is equipped with a prototype Allyn Components M.U.D. fork and a Allygn Diamond Front Rack. The fillet brazed frame is made only from the finest Columbus tubing and featuring our new 160mm flat direct mount standard on a Syntace X-12 through axle system. Fully internal cable routing. Hydraulic brake and shift action by Gevenalle, 1x12 Sram Eagle drivetrain spun fast with our trademark super low q-factor vintage Dura Ace crankset . Rolling ultra smooth on Hunt Wheels equipped with Rene Herse Baby Shoe Pass tires, mud protection by Velororange. Power supplied by SON deluxe hub dynamo and safety rear view mirror by our friends at Gilles Berthoud. Awesome Gramm Tourpacking bags, percfectly colour matching Velociao's vibrant paintjob.
Hope you will see many more times Brest on this beauty Daniel ;)!
