Tobi is what you could call a classic touring cyclist and in the past years he traveled all over Europe on his bike, preferably the in northern Scandinavian countries. I build a classic Fern touring bike for Tobi, just exactly the way like I would like to ride such a bicycle myself and he took it directly on his first trip to the Lofoten! The frame is made from super light but very strong Columbus Life tubing with a classic curved steel fork and custom made steel stem for superior handling and comfort. The bike is equipped with simple and super reliable parts and components such as the amazing Gevenalle shifters, controlling simple V-Style rim brakes, which provide extreme stopping power even with a heavy loaded bike. These parts could be replaced or repaired even in the most remote locations on this planet, apart from it's super unlikely that they will ever cause a technical problem at all! Super wide range 1x 11sp drive train all tuned with fine Garbaruk parts, Lights and energy by SON / B&M, seat and handlebar by Tune, tires by Ultradynamico. Dry feet and ass with the Veloduo Carbon fenders which can now be pre orderd. Just send an email, link in bio The Icing on the cake is the full set of custom made bags by Kristin / Gramm Tourpacking, Diamond Racks and Bags readily available in our online shops now! Amazing black green matte golden splatter paint as usual done by our glitter boy Rob aka Velociao! I wish many great adventures on your new Fern Bike Tobi!
