The Brief;
To build a comfortable bike to enjoy road and gravel riding for my wife.
The Build;
After riding a number of years on stock bikes my wife Natalee always struggled to find a good position, and after seeing Stewart from Riderfit in Melbourne it was clear she needed a custom bike. After many iterations we settled on a design that would be comfortable on the road and optimised for riding Victoria's great Rail Trails.
The bike is painted by Velocraft in a custom teal candy to match Natalee's wedding dress with personalised logos and graphics across the frame and stem. Fitted up with a simple 1x drivetrain and front and rear dynamo lighting this bike is always ready to go!
