The Grand Randonneur is a road frame optimized to carry a front load. We have equipped it with rear rack mounts, but it feels best with a front load only. The version 3 of the "Grando" makes quite a few updates.
Features:
- The geometry is still low trail in the front, but we have tried to make the handling slightly more stable than version 1 and 2.
- We have tweaked the tubing mix to add stiffness at the bottom bracket, while keeping this frame our lightest model.
- We have modernized parts of it: Adding IS disc mounts and thru-axle hubs compatibility. And of course everyone wants just slightly more tire clearance.
- With its skinny steel tubes and 1" threaded lugged crown fork it still has the vintage road bike look.
