We’ve a lovely customer called Will who visited the shop a while back to show us a photo of a crazy titanium mid tail 29r mtb which had caught his eye.
It looked like the ultimate adventure bike for a rad dad and his little one to take on some bikepacking camp outs.
We discussed building him something steel but the titanium has caught his eye.
Fast forward a year or so and he dropped the frame off in the shop with a SID fork, entrusting us with the rest of the build.
We chose components based on reliability and strength with SRAM T90 mechanical, Hope Evo brakes, Son dynamo and amazing new Ladelux front lamp, Oneup dropper post, Hope Fortus 35 rims with a Pro 5 rear hub and Eskers own Molle rack… This freight train rolls surprisingly well on Maxxis Rekons (2.6 front 2.8 rear).
The ride is sublime and we’re heading out on a little dad shakedown ride this Sunday to see how the bike performs.
👉 swipe through to see his home made handlebar solution for the pillion, together with a heavily modified child seat 😂 and a homemade frame bag.
That’s 2 DADventure bikes in a row! Thank you Will for trusting us with this special build.
