Custom Touring Bike
[2008-01-08 added improved photos]
I just finished putting together this awesome custom touring bike with S&S couplings:
This take apart bike is built around S&S machine works stainless steel couplings and an expedition touring geometry. The build includes:
- honey Brooks B-17 ‘S’ woman’s saddle
- Tubus cromoly Tara and Logo racks
- SKS cromoplastic fenders
- Shimano R600 adjustable reach 9 speed shifters
- TTT Eva woman’s specific handlebar
- hand built 36 spoke XT/Keba touring wheels
- Schwalbe Marathon Plus tires
- Thud-Buster short travel suspension seat post
- Touring specific gearing
This bike will be off to Vietnam for its first extended tour later this spring.
The stainless steel S&S couplings on this custom touring bike have a brushed finish.
