Why you’ll love it:
This isn’t your average mass-produced bike. It’s a locally crafted frame with a premium build kit and recent component upgrades—perfect for someone looking for a high-performance, head-turning hardtail at a fraction of the original cost.
And yes, full disclosure: I divorced the bike builder. Why? Because he spent a small fortune building bikes like this one. My loss, your gain—at least one of us should ride off happily into the sunset.
