Monster 29er

What is a custom bike?  In this case:  A ridged 29er and suspensionless.   The experienced owner prefers his ergonomics to be road worthy.  Handlebars are low and mated with super narrow cranks (road triple chainline and Q – factor ).

Different graphics and a close up of the Dedacciai S -bend chainstays that  give the clearance for a narrow chainline/ Q factor – 150mm.

The ultimate tarmac, gravel, dirt with occasional singletrack bike?

Certainly a bike suitable for this:

Need a new CX bike?  How about a custom and hand crafted classic Dreesens?

The stainless steel socket dropouts with the axle faces polished and masked off for paint.

The seat lug with cable stop on the binder bolt ear of the lug.

Warning: You may have to carry an anti-venom kit on account of the ‘bundle of snakes’ cable routing.

Full build w/ road, dirt and gravel worthy Continental 28’s on Revolution Wheelwork Hoops.
