A Custom Pinion C1.12 Randonneur for the USA
A randonneur built for long distances and its owner's individual requirements: this HILITE with custom geometry, a Pinion C1.12 gearbox and Hibox C2 has crossed the Atlantic and is now on the road in the USA.
The titanium frame is the foundation for a high-end specification tailored to long-distance riding. The centrally mounted Pinion gearbox is operated from the drop bar through the Hibox C2. A Gates belt transfers power to the rear wheel, while carbon rims complement the sporty build.
The matching blue SON hub dynamo and Sinewave headlight give the bike a distinctive accent. A Supernova rear light completes the lighting setup. Mudguards and a rear rack prepare the bike for changing weather and touring with luggage.
A Brooks Cambium saddle and titanium seatpost complement the individually tailored riding position. The result is a carefully considered randonneur that combines a sporty character with equipment for extended journeys.
