The versatility and ruggedness has taken the Tweed across Africa, Europe and North America – and back to tell the tale.
If you’re the type of person who wants a good commuter bike, while keeping your options open for dabbling in some touring or for riding a single speed, or for using internal gears, then this is the bike for you… a solid all-rounder.
Of course the bike has ample clearance for larger tires and fenders. It is also fully equipped with mounts to accept front and rear pannier racks.
