Offroad Bike Touring

Engineering

WORK IN PROGRESS

This project came at a strange time in my life. I started it after I finished most my classes for the year at U.C. Berkeley. Luckily, my classes were project classes so I was able to complete them at the end of RRR week. This left me with Finals week to cut/weld/polish/paint and assemble my bike!

I designed this frame starting with the geometry of my Canyon Grizl as inspiration. I tweaked the sizing to improve fit and changed every single component, as well as adding internal cable routing through the head tube.
