The XXS 29er is coming together.

This is going to be a tiny bike!

Peter had a special request.  A blend of unique tubing and shaping was in order.  More to come…

Peter’s latest creation may look simple enough.

Durable Powdercoat reminds me of a CAT Bulldozer.

Decals are reflective industrial Vinyl.

Lots of clearance for fat Cadillac ride tires.

Gearing is a 46×30 with a 12×27 rear cluster.  Lots of range for those long rides.

A true Randonneur?  Notice there are no rack eyelets (which Peter can do).  Owner of this bike doesn’t ride in the rain often or have interest for panniers so there was no need.  The frame/fork has a cleaner look without them too.

If the top tube looks long then you have a sharp eye!  The frame is actually 56cm center to center and has a 59.5cm top tube.  The owner is 6′1″ and likes his saddle a bit lower than traditional set up.  However he still needed a bike that accommodated his torso and preferred cockpit reach/drop.  Voila.

So what is this bike?  It’s another great example how Peter can build a bike based on your riding style, needs, terrain and ideas.

Still wondering what the heck a Randonneur is?  Click here and here for more info.

The latest Dreesens build is back from paint.  The color chosen deserves a sunny day for pics.  Till then, here are more pre-paint shots.

Rear dropout sculpted, brazed and polished.

Head tube lugs got a buff too.

Peter is working on something.  Not exactly sure what it’s going to be just yet.  He tells me that this build is for a bike with cross size tires but able to fit road long reach calipers.  Could it be a type of Randonneur?

Check out the tire clearance on this fork.  That’s a 700×38 tire.

Cool Fork Crown

Peter is hard at work.  More Pics soon.

Lugs trimmed and ready for brazing.
