I was in search of a rare bird: a daily rider, scaled for my west coast off-road commute, fun on gnarly singletrack but also able to be loaded up and handle reliably on extended bikepacking expeditions. Lyle walked me through the design process, listening to my ideas and bringing his experience to the table to resolve details. The result is thrilling: a bike that meets my design objectives, exceeds my own expectations, is ultra functional and is beautifully detailed and constructed. The pleasure I take in this bike grows with each day in the saddle. Chapeau!
