Tumbleweed Prospector – Philipp
Recently we had another (two) Tumbleweed Prospector builds going to austria. Philipps green Prospector is built with Rohloff rear hub and SON dynamo in the front powering a custompurple Terra headlight (luckily no stupid rules over there) with USB charging for long remote tours. Vittoria Barzo tyres for offroad traction, Shimano SLX brakes for enough stopping power and a SqLabs handlebar for a ergonomic seating position. We cant wait to see pictures from it in action!

Tumbleweed Prsopector – Gerda
In addition to Guidos Prospector going to austria a while ago, his wife Gerda also got a Tumbleweed Prospector so they can go on planed journeys together! For Gerda we used the last Midnight blue Prospector and combined it with some golden details (seatclamp still missing on the pcitures) like the Cane Creek headset and golden Sapim nipples. Apart from that we have a proven setup with SunRingle rims, Rohloff, SON dynamo and lights, Tumbleweed racks and Shimano XT brakes for stopping power! Looking for you own world traveling companion?

Tumbleweed Prospector – Sascha
It was a pleasure to build Saschas Tumbleweed Prospector. The wheels were made with Rohloff hub and SON dynamo in front laced to Newmen EG.35 rims that withstand everything you throw at them. A Shimano XT crankset is turning in a Chris King bottom bracket and the headset is a Chris King too! Wonderful Paul Components Klamper brakes with matching levers do not only look awesome, but stop the bike in every situation safely. The Surly Moloko handlebar allows multiple hand positions and is a perfect fit!
