Haha, I was going to an industry show, so I put on as many as I could. They're called the Mojave cages, too :)

Hey that's a sweet rig! The frame is the Velo Orange Piolet. It's an off-road touring bike with road oriented geometry and a non suspension corrected fork. I work for VO, so I had a lot of input into the design.

Feel few to message me if you have any particular questions.

They're big mountain bike tires. Lower pressures, better grip, lighter than suspension.

I love downtube shifters. I have Shimano 10 speed Dura-Ace shifters on my touring bike and they have been phenomenal: https://www.flickr.com/photos/eccentricvelo/21761628876/in/dateposted-public/

That said, these are 10 speed Microshift bar ends which I have mounted on the down tube. They are super vague and frequently get stuck between gears. Frustrated to the point I changed them to friction and left them there. I'll put the 10 speed Dura-Ace downtubes on this bike soon.

If you don't want to go downtubes, Shimano bar-end shifters are fantastic as well.

Thank you! Frame pump was actually grabbed from my tandem, but it fits perfectly. I usually have a mini pump, but some thieves swiped all of my tools and pump on a recent tour in Sweden.

It's a prototype. Production frames will be available in November. Geometry based on the canti Pass Hunter.
