Curve GXR Kevin – Fabian
With Fabian we planed a very special project based on the Curve Cycling GXR titanium frameset that actually shows how versatile it is. The setup includes two wheelsets. 1st: fast with carbon Duke World Runner 50 SLS2 rims and Teravail Rampart tyres, 2nd: offroad with Newmen Evolution SL A.30 rims with wide Maxxis Ikon tyres. Both sets of rims combined with Erase rear hub and dynamo in front for use with lights. For shifting Shimano GRX 810 combined with Garbaruk cage and cassette. In front a Rotor 2INpower Powermeter crank and matching Q-Ring. Orange seatclamp and headset from Hope Tech are a perfect match to the orange Garabruk details. PRO carbon seatpost, Discover stem and handlbar with ENVE bar finish the bike nicely!

Soma Buena Vista – Matthias
A fun project started with the NITTO moustache handlebar Matthias already had: Together we planed a out of the ordinary Every Day- / Touring bike an basis of the Soma Fabrication Buena Vista Mixte frameset. Goal was a classical look with a highlight, that in the end was done by using hammered copper fender besides all the shiny polished parts. The simple but highly versatile 3×10 speed drivetrain was realized with Microshift rear dearailleur combined with a beautiful Velo Orange Grand Cru 110 triple crankset and Dia Compe shift levers on the frame. Handbuild wheels with SON dynamo and Velo Orange hub rear combined with shiny H+SON Archetype rims and the manifestation of a classical touring tyre: Panaracer Pasela with tanwall sides. Berthoud leather saddle and honey Brooks Microfbre bar tape and polished Pelago rack are good match as well. You want to realize a fun and unique project like that too? Get in contact!
