Surly Ogre No. 2
As said before it was two Ogre bikes we build for Gaby and wife (sorry forgot your name!) for the next big tour. Gaby and his wife came the long way from Netherlands to entrust us building new adventure travel bikes for them! No suprise, the 2nd bike is pretty close to Gabys bike: Surly Ogre, Shimano XT 1×12 drivetrain, Erase MTB rear hub and SON 28 dynamo laced to Syntace alumnium rims and Jones handlebar for multiple hand position on long tours. To stay visible they got a full SON light setup and for charging USB devices we added a steerer mounted Sinewave Reactor. Surly racks front and rear make sure they can haul everything they need on tour.

Curve Cycling GMX+ for Dennis
This one was a premiere for us as well. Dennis was thinking about the ultimative bikepacking rig and together we planned this ultimative titanium Overlander! Based on the more than capable Curve Cycling GMX+ frameset we build this dream bike with @SRAM AXS Red/Eagle Mullet drivetrain, Rotor Kapic crankset, Chris King Bourbon rear and SON 28 dynamo front hub laced to unbreakable DT HX531 rims, Teravail Coronado 29×2.8″ tyres, Ritchey WCS VentureMax XL handlebar and Brooks Cambium carved All Weather saddle. A lot of mounting points on frame and fork allow Dennis to be abroad for a while and that’s what he is planning to do with his new bike! Get in touch if you have similar ideas!

VPACE T2ST – Maria
We are sure you are aware of the bad supply situation related to bike parts. At the moment we are waiting for a lot of parts to finish a lot of awesome projects and are sorry for the delay. For now we found some builds we made last year when you still got bike parts to do so. In this time we build this awesome VPACE T2St titan complete bike for Maria. Made with SHimano GRX 2×11 groupset combined with Rotor Aldhu crankset with Q-Rings and Hope Technology RX 4 disc brakes. Wheels made with power purple Hope Technology hubs laced to 650b Syntace W28i rims and WTB ByWay tyres. Redshift suspension stem for comfort on long, bumby rides and an ZIPP XPLR handlebar with Supacaz bar tape to keep in control at all times.
