Specialized Sequoia \ Versitile bike

The idea of building the bike for all weather (and not only) conditions was pursuing me for several years. The main criteria of this bike should be: maximally versatile for a little money. So I get this wonderful old school Specialized Sequoia frame set from 80's and build it up with a new sram middle range components. I've also convert it to 1x system for more comfort and a little bit less weight. I must say, that the result of what I've get is pretty neat. It rides so damn well, even in a deep snow. What you now see is a winter edition. I'm going to update this bike here after each change of ride conditions in different setups. So stay tuned for more new pics ;)
