Current Stage Info:

This bike has become my touring go-to. It handles weight well, has the appropriate eyelets for whatever I’d need and is low maintenance. Only downfall is the weight but I’ve grown to appreciate slowing down a little.
When not on tour it earns its keep by being my grocery getter and “chill” bike.
