I was oddly unaware of this bike and impressed. Lots of details from the headtube stopper to the stainless steel, integrated rack. Tom will use this for his commute.
About time we got him off that Xtracycle for the commute. He’s gonna need a front wheel though. Tom/bikejuju
He can get up the hill now.

This bike is a lot like what I’ve always wanted for commuting, but I’m torn between an EBB and sliding dropouts. Between ovalized shells and bad chain clearance with unfortunate eyelet location, it’s easy to lose.
You mean the massive stack height? I don’t think these frames are custom and my input is taller headtubes.
