  • Riding from the Pyrenees to Santiago de Compostela.
  • Going uphill, going fast, and going long.
  • Fully-loaded touring.

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 Tournado features a frame geometry designed for upright riding stability. 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.

  • Ten to fifteen minutes is all it takes to pack it down into a small suitcase for easy airline travel.
  • A Brooks Champion saddle in a Dahon custom antique brown and lusciously rich Brooks leather bar tape highlight the component package.
  • Shimano Ultegra 27 speed drive train – 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 700×40C with fenders.
  • Grant Petersen designed forged, dual-pivot, long-reach brakes
