BASSI HOG'S BACK FRAME - COOL ADE

From Bassi:

The Hog's Back is the true all-road loaded touring frame from Bassi.  This bike has ridden all over, from Montréal's streets to Vermont's highways to Peru's dirt roads, and now to French roads as loaded-down with baggage as you please.

Features:

• Columbus Cromor tubing (frame and fork)
• Geometry optimized for balanced front-rear load, or front-biased load.
• Ideally used with swept-back bars rather than road drops. If using drops, you'll need a short stem and/or a frame one size smaller, this bike has a long front to it.
• 27.2mm seatpost, cast seat collar
• EC34 headset (1-1/8" standard)
• 28.6mm theadless steerer
• Disc brake ISO mounts, 160mm rotor recommended
• Downtube mounts for shift levers or housing stops
• 135mm rear spacing, quick-release vertical dropout
• BSC threaded bottom bracket (1.37" x 24TPI), 68mm shell width
• Includes cable guide for shift cables under the BB shell
• Kickstand plate
• Frome Bassi : Pretty darned rugged weight limits, as far as luggage on a properly installed rack goes. We tested with 26kg of weights in panniers, up and down steep hills, and handling didn't change much, so you're probably good. But be reasonable.
• So many eyelets! Put racks, cages, fenders, whatever you want on this bike. 
• Metal headbadge. It doesn't change anything but boy is it pretty and really classes up the place.
