The all-day, all-weather, all-roads, travel bike. The Tournado
is a hand-made, lugged steel touring bike that celebrates classical
frame geometries and component designs. In true hand-made
tradition, each frame is painstakingly welded and brazed from Tange
Prestige tubes. The result is a superbly balanced, supple ride that
will deliver mile after mile of smiles and still packs easily into
a suitcase for your next adventure.
Technology Highlights:
- Ten to fifteen minutes is all it takes to pack it down into a
small suitcase for easy airline travel
- Frame geometry features a taller head tube and longer wheel
base for more comfort and stability on long tours
- A Brooks Champion saddle in a Dahon custom antique brown and
lusciously rich Brooks leather bar tape highlight the carefully
selected list of components
- Shimano Ultegra *7 speed drive train with barcon shifters – a 9
speed drivetrain is simpler and easier to repair in the field
- American Classic high flange hubs are fitted with
smooth-rolling stainless steel cartridge bearings
- Braze-ons for fenders and front and rear racks. Fits tires of
up to **0×*0C with fenders
