Every once in a while I get to build up a customers bike that really impresses me. This Co-Motion is one! It starts as a Nor’Wester Tour frameset with canti-brakes, but uses the Ultegra 10 Speed Triple Road Group from the Nor’Wester (More road oriented with CF fork, and road group). I love the Lusty Red paint and Vanilla Shake panels. Paint scheme is identical to my own Co-Motion Americano touring/commuting bike. Plug in a set of touring wheels, racks and fenders and this bike is ready for cross country touring.
I love straight blade steel forks, and this one is a work of art.
Just seeing this new bike after building it is inspiration to dust off my Americano and ride again.
