Picafort Treader

An all-road winter bike that can be used in the summer months for trail riding. It's good for commuting, long distance cycling or thrashing on the trails. Picafort bicycles are built in Toronto in the Mariposa workshop with new old stock, lightweight Columbus tubing and lugged construction. They are stock sized, have cantilever brakes for clearance (up to 700C x 42mm tires) and easy maintenance. They have mudguard and rear carrier eyelets, a steel fork and are drilled for internal wiring for hub generated lighting and USB charging. The silver paint is great for visibility. The name "Picafort" is a Catalan word meaning "hit hard" or "strong bite". Michael and Dede Barry lived in Girona, Catalonia for 12 years during their professional racing careers. Riding through the Northern winter months takes a strong hit of strength and motivation.
