Sunshine,...Sunshine Reggae,...! We build this neon rastafarian Chuck 650B bike for Thorsten. This bike definitely puts a big smile on your face each time you gonna ride this beauty. A frame made from the finest custom made Columbus tubing and featuring our iconic Chuck slingshot stem and complete rack setup, all handmade by Fern. 1x11 Shimano gearing combined with Gevenalles for smooth and durable shifting perfomance, even in the roughest conditions. Supple and superfast rolling on Rene Herse Switchbackhill 650Bx48mm tires. Energy supply via SON 28 hubdynamo, bright as sunshine lighting with SON Edelux 2 headlight and Supernova taillight. Incredible paint job as usual by our man at Velociao , perfect matching bags made by my love Tine at Gramm Tourpacking . Have good times rolling Thorsten, Irie man! ;)
