Bike: Monk custom steel frame made in Berlin and painted by myself. I added some mounts here and there. Some cages, the rear rack as well as the stem and framebag are made by myself. Don't ask how many hours I spend on this bike. Lots of patience, love and time was spent to have this bike like it is. It is the result of around two years of constant build and modification😅 Wheelsize is 27,5", tires are vittoria mezcal 2,35". It brakes with some nice mechanical Paul Klampers and has a 700 mm wide cruiser handlebar and some chunky xxl ESI Grips for comfort. Drivetrain is a mix between deore xt and a classic sugino crank. There is a lot to tell, I guess pictures tell more;)

Key items of kit: On the other side of the framebag there is a cute corgi patch for the sad moments. In front sleeping gear in the back clothes.
