The New Taiwanese BLT
I was happy to announce a new more affordable touring frame from Bruce Gordon Cycles. I often read on various news groups that people wanted a tour ready frame for less $$$. The First Prototype was shown at Interbike 2008 with much positive response. I met with the people making them from Taiwan who brought a first prototype with them to the show. They are very anxious to make a frame that meets my standards, and I'm very confident they are up to the task.
Since then we made several refinements to the original and are proud to unveil the final version that is now going into production.
They are being built by a small frame shop in Taiwan to my specifications. It will have the same geometry and tubing specifications as my well known Rock 'n Road Tour frames. They will include 4130 Cro-Mo plate dropouts CNC machined to my design. I will continue making the racks and Bruce Gordon frames in my shop in Petaluma California.
