Travel By Bike Thursday - BLING GUNNAR TOURING BIKE

Since we are showing off some high end bikes this week I am going to highlight the one high end touring bike we have at Tom's Pro Bike right now - the Gunnar Grand Tour Size 58 Frame with Ultegra build.

Let's see what Gunnar has to say about this frame:  Riding a bike is fun. Traveling by bike is something more. There’s a tremendous sense of freedom you get from packing up and heading off for a week, a month, or a year on a bike. And the greater the duration, the more important it is to have a thoughtfully designed and skillfully built bike. As the miles pile up, you’ll appreciate the Grand Tour’s balance and comfort. As the years go by, you’ll admire its versatility and durability.

The Grand Tour comes with our strongest tubesets, giving you a solid ride and confidence even with the heavy loads of unsupported touring. We designed the fit for long distance travel with long chainstays for pannier clearance. We added lots of creature features, from stainless steel double eyelet rear dropouts to rack mounts and triple water bottle bosses. Where size permits, we include a canty brake cable arch for sure and easy adjustment.

New – optional kickstand plate comes in handy for taking a brake. Includes a built-in fender mount.

Whether around town or around the world, your Grand Tour is a friend you can count on.
