---- Original Post ----
I've had this bike for a while now and life commitments have not allowed me to use it for it's designed purpose. I've ridden it around the neighborhood and on a few local gravel roads, but never took even one overnighter. It's time to let it go to someone who will ride it hard.
This is a custom bikepacking bike designed for off-road touring. Size is medium-large. I’m 5’10” with 32” inseam. See
