We built this steel touring bike for a customer in Henderson, NV to replace the Surly Cross Check that he had been riding.

This steel Spot 29'er was built for a customer in Lynchburg, VA. The customer came to us looking for a bike with a Rohloff SPEEDHUB 500/14 and a Gates Carbon Drive belt system. These two products offer the high durability, low maintenance setup he was after for a high-mileage off road bike.
