beautyful bike enjoy.

I don't know the max weight it will carry; it's spec'd for commuting and light touring. I think we discussed making sure I could carry 40 pounds or so. As you can see it's got a very lightweight rear rack.

It does have all the usual braze-ons for touring (3 water bottle cages, pump peg, both fender and rack eyelets in back; fender and low-mount rack braze-ons in front.

It's a custom frame; Chris will build what you want. For a more rugged touring bike we would have used heavier tubing, perhaps stretch the wheelbase out a bit and gone w/lower gearing
