Here you can take a closer look at my bicycle which was custom made by Patria Fahrräder in Leopoldshöhe, close to Bielefeld in Germany. When I reached out to them about my tour and my project, they were more than helpful in supporting me. I went to visit the factory and was impressed by the fine handmade work they are producing. After measuring my body, we consulted about my bicycle needs and I explained my desired components. Together with the expertise at Patria, this lovely dream bicycle of mine came out as a result:
