Built for fully loaded touring, this 25th Anniversary Special Edition frame may appear too pretty to ride, but David has already shown he will be a kind but demanding master. I designed and built the frame to cover thousands of miles in comfort and stability under the load of the necessary gear for a self sufficient tour. To complete the touring equipment David had Bob Beckman build a beautiful set of fillet brazed steel racks and panniers. The light blue pearlescent color on this bike took several months to develop and it must be seen to be truly appreciated. Hat's off to Joe Bell who mastered the formula. By the way that's David in the below photo (middle foreground) doing the river crossing during the Old Caz Grasshopper race January 30th 2010.
