Back when my Veloheld Iron was set up as a dropbar MTB, I somehow only really felt comfortable in the drops. On the hoods, the bike always felt a bit too long to me, even with a very short stem.
So I decided to switch to a different handlebar. I was torn between a classic MTB bar and one with extreme backsweep, and in the end I went for what is probably the most comfortable option of all.
Technically, it’s more of a trekking handlebar — but if we’re honest, the bike itself is also more of a trekking / gravel / XC hybrid, however you want to define it.
Either way, I took the opportunity to add two skulls to the brake and shift cable housings right away.
It really is an evil bike.

Finally got the pesky seat post out, took some paint with it. Just gone for its maiden trip #bikebuild
New hoops for my single speed, unfortunately still fighting with a stuck seat post. The Caustic soda has burnt out most of it but still some aluminium hanging on in there. #bikebuild
Off to get some Caustic Soda to fuck up a aluminium seat post. Hopefully I wont chemical burn myself in the process.... #bikemaintainance #bikebuild
My new project. Will be using it as a town bike. #bikebuild

Wir starten die neue Woche mit: Details.
Denn dort unterscheiden sich Fahrräder von Traumrädern.
Und unser Weekly Dream Build hat es diesbezüglich in sich. Hier wurde sowohl von Kundenseite als auch hier im Studio getüffelt, bis der perfekte Commuter entstand, der nun durch Berlin rollt und das Stadtbild verschönert. Obacht, Herr Bundeskanzler.

Mehr vom Custom Bike - im Laufe der Woche - stay tuned!
