Novara Express, Copper, XL/ 24in
| Availability: | In stock (1) |
This Novara Express is a bike that was sold by REI in 2016. It was designed for comfort and speed. We converted it from the stock hybrid design to a drop-bar road/ touring setup you see here for more comfort on most roads including rougher ones with the wider tires we installed (700x28 mm).
Over $350 invested in new parts and labor!
Features:
- Shifting: Shimano 105 derailleurs (9 spd) paired to new Microshift R9 brifters!
- Crankset: FSA Omega triple
- Frame: 6061 aluminum frame for strength and quick acceleration; has mounting holes for racks/ fenders!
- Fork: Carbon legs to reduce weight and dampen vibrations
- Handlebars: New drop bars with fresh bar tape!
- Pedals: New Wellgo double-sided pedals (SPD on one side, platform on the other)!
- Brakes: Tektro Quartz dual-pull brakes with new Kool-stop pads for great stopping power!
- Tires: New Panaracer Gravel King 700x 28 mm tires that are puncture-resistant, smooth-rolling!
- Wheels: Very nice low-count spoke Shimano WH-R550 rims and hubs
