We're not immune to the satisfaction of watching stunning bikes being built. So when we had the chance to be involved in the making of "the Ultimate Bike Packing Beast" by Tailfin and Sour Bikes, we couldn't say no.
For the supreme ASMR bike build, Sour Bikes offered their Pasta Party XC Frame to be matched up with Tailfins bike packing equipment with the aim of making it a “Tough as hell” bike packing rig!With the HUNT Proven Carbon Race XC as the chosen wheelset to complement this build, its low weight but high strength performance makes it the perfect asset for this steed to create a tough bike packing machine.
