Lilli - my trusty steed

My Nordest Sardinhia II Ti, lovingly named Lilli, is my latest touring bicycle after a broken thumb I had to retire my Salsa Fargo Ti. Frank had served me well for thousands of kilometres but after my surgery riding on the brake hoods just simply hurt too much and forced me onto a flat bar. She was built with all of Frank's parts that were compatible.

The fork is custom built by @drustcycles in Berlin and painted by @orlo_cnc_frames. The result is better than I could have hoped. The bike looks beautiful, its light and the fork can carry a serious amount of weight.

It is running a range of SRAM Eagle models, DT Swiss rims, A SON28 dynamo & a cheap bar and seatpost.

The frame and tank bags are handmade by me. I accidentally cut a hole in the side of the frame bag, so I had to sneakily cover that up with a patch.
