The all-day, all-weather, all-roads, travel bike. The Tournado is a handmade, 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 and each lug lovingly hand-painted. A Brooks Champion saddle in a Dahon custom antique brown and lusciously rich Brooks leather bar tape highlight the component package. The Tournado fits tires of up to 700?40C and features a frame geometry designed for stability and a more comfortable upright, riding position. The result is a superbly balanced, supple ride that will deliver mile after mile of smiles. Best of all, the Tournado packs in fifteen minutes into it's own AirPorter travel case so you'll never have to leave home without your bike again. Pack your bags? the road is waiting..

Such a LOOOOOONG Post this one.. It's to keep an update on all
the details i have found about it too.. so i dun have to go to
these website to check anc check again..
But this bike looks lovely, and perfect for my Europe adventure(if it is
still on..) If not, i can still bring this bike on long tours
in other countries near by!!
I love it, love the concept of stripping it down in 15mins and putting it
in a bag/suitcase that is legal in size for air transporting.
It's a touring road bike.
And guess what, it has a fork capacity, or design, to put in
26inches wheels too!! I read online, and they ALLLL said 26 inches
wheels can be found ALLL around the world.. SO yea..
I guess its a good idea to buy an additional wheel..
Plus! I need to get back panniersx2, the supporter behind, one front
utility bag, a pair of good pedals, and a helmet.
Man.. I think i will need at least SGD$4k for this.. Argh!!
I so hope the uncle gives me some sort of discount...
I can only amount so much money IF i get my bonus.. SO FINGERS CROSSED!
Cheers,
py
