Steelwool
Tweed Frame & Fork
|
|
The swiss-army-knife of bikes, the Steelwool Tweed can be a commuter, tourer or single speed, and it can even race cross in a pinch. There aren’t many other bikes this capable.
The versatility and ruggedness has taken the Tweed across Africa, Europe and North America - and back to tell the tale.
If you're the type of person who wants a good commuter bike, while keeping the idea that you might dabble in some touring or try riding a single speed, or just want a solid all-rounder, then this is the bike for you.
Of course the bike has ample clearance for larger tires and fenders. It is also fully equipped with mounts to accept front and rear pannier racks.
