Another Custom Touring Frame with S&S Couplings
Today’s bike is another take apart custom touring frame using S&S couplings.
This bike is similar to the touring bicycle from a couple of days ago, but with disc brakes rather than v-brakes. Details include:
- Custom steel take apart frame with stainless steel S&S couplings
- hand built XT/Keba wheels with Schwalbe Marathon Plus tires
- Avid BB-7 ‘road’ disc brakes
- Shimano R600 Ultegra level reach adjustable STI levers
- MTB gearing (Triple crank, 11-34T cassette) for loaded touring in serious mountains
- Selle Italia ‘Lady’ saddle and short travel Thud-Buster seatpost
- Women specific TTT ‘Eva’ touring bar
The custom frame features touring optimized disc specific dropout that provide clearance for rack, fender and disc caliper mounting.
