Additional Info

This bike was 100% custom made. I drawn the geometry using BikeCad, and it was tweaked, soldered and painted by a French and local welder : BaudouBikes.
The frame is made from Reynolds 853 and 631. It was powercoated with a RAL3003 and a "glitter/shiny" coating. The result is astonishing!

All components used were salvaged from my previous Commencal Hardtail. They were pretty worn out, but after an intense service, and few stickers from NLDesign, they are good to go !

EDIT : Weight added, with pedals without bottle
