Mariposa Feature:  All-Road Loaded Touring Bicycle

October 25, 2017

In 2016, we built a loaded touring bicycle for 6-Time Olympic medallist Clara Hughes, aka Redfeather, her trail name. Clara and her husband Peter are adventurers, by bike, foot, skis and kayak. Peter tested Clara's bike and decided he would like one of his own. Peter's bike, aka Windwalker was built for loaded touring in the high mountains, with low rider carriers, small climbing gears and accommodations for up to 46mm tires.
