Alex Singer Campeur 1985
While one constructeur after another closed their doors for good, Ernest and Roland Csuka continued to build bikes in the great tradition of Cycles Alex Singer. The original owner of this bike intended to travel far and wide, so he ordered a very special camping bike. In addition to a reinforced frame, it features heavy-duty racks and two rear brakes. Unfortunately, his travel dreams never were realized, and the bike saw little use. After its owner’s death, the bike went on an Odyssey around the globe before finding a new home. With its stiff frame and sturdy racks, this bike is easy to ride even with 35 kg (77 lbs.) in the four panniers. Now it awaits a bicycle tour of the South American Andes. The dream lives on.
