A bike I had built by the legendary frame builder, Dale Saso. Inspired by the sport touring bikes of the 80s, I wanted a bike that both fits me well and rides fast in the hills and mountains around me, but comfortable, as the mountain roads can get rough. A bike that I don't have to dismount in complete pain, yet stays with the pack. Dale did it. Finished off with some custom wheels. Due to my love of steep mountains, but dealing with a bad knee, I went with a triple crank and Deore rear so I can continue to ride up there.
