This wonderful Chico 28 finally goes out to my man Mr. Q! Thanks so much for being the most patient and nicest customers we 've had here at Fern, I hope the long time waiting was worth it ;) This bike is featuring a true racing bike geometry, but rolling super smooth on supple Rene Herse 44mm Snoqualmie Pass tires. Maximum speed and absolutely superior comfort on any kind of terrain, no matter if you go for racing on asphalt or for fun gravelriding off the road, the Chico 28 can do it all. The bike is equipped with a Gevenalle powered 1x11 Shimano drivetrain turned by a Wolftooth Drop Stop chainring mounted to a vintage custom anodized Dura Ace 7400 crankset. Fenders made by our friends at Berthoud Cycles, comfy contact points by Tune ,Whiskyparts and ESI grips. Lights and power supply by SON, "Schmidt's Original Nabendynamo". Stem and rack are all handmade by Fern. Awesome stripy paint sheme by our man Robert from Velociao . Have good time rolling on your new steed!
