F5 XCR Custom: Josh
Posted on December 17 2015
This is easily our favorite bike build of the year. This custom touring bike was built for Josh so that he can navigate the globe over the next few years. The frame is made with Columbus XCR stainless steel tubing and accompanied by a  Columbus Cromor custom steel fork, both brushed and clearcoated with killer custom decal work. The frame features inner cable routing for all cables: gears, brakes, and additional lighting electronics.
