Alcohauler Photos

Special thanks to Brad at Dirt Rag for taking photos of the Alcohauler - a special single speed frame built for the 2007 Handmade Bicycle Show. This frame is unique since it accommodates 26" or 29" wheels; it can be used as a single-speed mountain bike, a geared commuter bike and any other combination possible. To my knowledge, no other frame design on the market has this level of flexibility!
