Our ultra-marathon, ride around the world workhorse doesn't change much for 2011. Why change a beautiful thing? hIrSch has ridden this bike 55,000 miles, which is about 2-1/2 times around the earth, and to keep our ever-wandering cycling muse happy, new for 2011, we add a better handlebar, a laid back seatpost for a more balanced position on the bike, Shimano crankset, WTB Freedom rims. The world is a beautiful place, no?
