I built this XL Low Kicker for my partner during the pandemic I think if I remember correctly.
Kate has commuted, shopped, and just ridden over 1500 miles on it in the last few years. In and around Colorado Springs, Co.
It’s a fun mix of parts from VO and others.

Wheelset is a shimano XT rear hub and a shutter front dynamo hub and a super nova headlight and taillight so no need to remember to charge lights Alex adventure rims set up tubeless with Panaracer 26x2.1 gravel kings.
Drivetrain is 1x advent 9 speed with 11x42 cassette and Wolftooth front 36 ring on a 80’s sungino crank.
Cockpit is a simworks get around handle bar and Thompson stem, terry butterfly saddle, msw pedals and ergon grips.

VO Fenders and Mojave Bottle Cage, pedalggo rear rack, old salsa cyclocross ring protector to help keep the trousers out of the chain, greenfield kickstand.
Kate calls it her “pretty bike”.
