...already back in 2021 we launched another CHUCK EXPL spaceship into the allroad orbit! This machine we build for Erich who fell in love with our 2020 showbike and so we created a special custom version just for him. We tweaked the geometry a little bit more into the direction of roadbike for really fast on road riding, but the 650Bx48mm Rene Herse Switchback tires will give him all the options to ride as fast on gravel and forest roads. Erich's Chuck is a condensed version of the original showbike, bringing it down to the core of what you really need for spirited cycling. Getting rid of all that extra bit and parts, is lowering the overall weight of that bike to an incredible 10.4kg.
The bike features the new ALLYGN Diamond Front rack which is available now in our online store and even the latest prototype Gramm Tourpacking Diamond Handle Bar Bag which is the perfect addition for our frambuilder owned component companies font rack! Custom made to measure Gramm Frame Bag, Saddle Bag and Toptube Bag, making this bike ultra versatile for any kind of bicycle adventure ahead!
Superlight Columbus tubing, Gevenalle operated 1x11 drivetrain with our trademark vintage dura Ace 7400 crankset, TRP Hylex brakes, superlight Tune seat and post, energy supply from SON, full hub dynamo lighting, full set of Gilles Berthoud fenders, really everything you need for all year riding!
The NASA inspired paint sheme is as usual done by our spaceman Robert @Velociao !
Have good times rollin' Erich! ;)
