Built for a Torontonian who rides his bike to work through the city streets with diversions through the parks or on the Don Valley trails.  The bike is designed for mixed surface riding, in all weather conditions.  Built with a mixture of lightweight Kaisei and Columbus tubing, a custom steel fork, a Shimano GRX 1x Drivetrain, Paul Cantilever brakes, Honjo hammered fenders and René Herse Bon Jon Pass Endurance tires, this bike will be versatile all year, even on the snowy streets.
