Steve’s flat bar road

Steve’s flat bar road

The conversation went something like this…..

Steve: So, I was wondering if we might be able to do the twin toptube/seatstays that you’ve done on the mountain bikes, but on a road bike?

Rob: Sure thing.

Steve: And I’d like the V3 style carbon ISP and headtube.

Rob: Absolutely.

Steve: I like to ride a flat bar on my road bikes – perhaps we could do a one-piece bar stem, and make it kind of curvy to match the frame?

Rob: I’m sure we can come up with something like that.

Steve: The rear brake will need to be under the chainstays and it’ll be Di2 with K-Edge flat bar shifters.

Rob: No problems there.

Steve: Then about the paint…..

 

Kudos to Eric and Bethany at Colorworks for the flawless execution of Steve’s paint design. And thanks to Tina Buescher for the great photography.

    Love this one. Concept somewhat similar to Giant Anyroad but much better executed.
