I’ve been planning to add a selection of handmade touring framesets to Capricorn’s Online Shop in time for the summer touring season. Right now the plan is to make three stock sizes (54cm, 56cm, 58cm), powdercoat them black, and list them for sale at a very reasonable price (~$1400). However if you’re reading this and you’re in the market for a new touring bike, you can pre-order an El Burro with your choice of seat tube length, top tube length, and color. Pre-ordering will require a $500 non-refundable deposit.
Specs & Features:
- Hand-built, fillet-brazed frame with 35mm down tube for strength and rigidity when fully loaded.
- American-made True Temper Verus tubing
- Lugged fork with over-sized, threadless steerer tube and heavy fork blades.
- Full rack and fender braze-ons, front and rear.
- Kickstand plate{pic}
- Side-tack seat stays{pic}
- Paragon Machine Works dropouts{pic}
- Cantilever brake bosses
- Top-routed rear derailleur cable won’t interfere with kickstand{pic}
- Bottom routed front derailleur cable with stainless cable guide under bottom bracket shell {pic}
- Designed around 700c wheels with room for 35 mm tires. 135mm rear axle spacing.
Full- and partial-build packages are available including Velo-Orange and Honjo fenders, Nitto handlebars, Paul Components brakes, and Chris King headsets. Feel free to direct questions and comments to me via the Contact page. Sizing services and recommendations are also available.
