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!

Surly Troll – Ulrike
We hope you all came into the new year smootly despite all Corona circumstances. So lets start the year with this wonderful Surly Troll we made for Ulrike some time ago. Fully custom coloured frameset with metalic powdercoating for the extra bling. Built with Shimano XT 3x groupset to make sure its suitable for any place you could go. Velo Orange 26″ Voyager rims look classy but they are state of the art and of course tubeless ready. A SON dynamo hub and B+M lights let you ride all day and night while the matching silver Sinewave Reactor charges all your devices on your tour! Classy silver Ritchey classic parts are a good match with the Velo Orange Curvy handlebar and the all over classical look. A Velo Orange Porteur rack in the front for the commuting needs and when the time comes for the next big tour the frame offers several mounts for more carriers.
