Tournado™
- 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
