Description

Go for the long haul

If your idea of blowing off a little steam is a long day on two wheels, the Grade Alloy GTw is the engine you need to power you through. The long wheelbase and slack head angle give you a stable and comfortable ride for your all-day randonees, fondos, and stress relief, while the carbon fork and low bottom bracket guarantee stability and responsiveness when the wheels hit the dirt.
