A modern 'Dirt Randonneur' a genre we consider the pinnacle of bike design.
I wanted “one bike to ride it all”, something that would get me out in comfort and reasonable pace, but still be capable of tackling byways, bridleways, gravel and grass up the middle rough country lanes; a mix of classic French, rough stuff and Rivendell /old school inspired simplicity. Something I would enjoy riding and could enjoy maintaining. The lovely people at Woods understood what I wanted and helped make it a reality - never judging, always helping… it took a while to come to fruition but I know I’m going to love this bike and where it takes me for a long time to come… thanks to Robbie and all the Woods Cyclery people for understanding that the bike is just the beginning….there’s so much more… Ride wild and free baby!
