Nordest Sardinha Kit (frame + fork)
One of the ancient occupations of the inhospitable
Nordeste (Portugal) was that of the
almocreves; austere merchants who carried their saddlebags with goods to supply the
Trasmontanos from village to village.
One of the typical products they carried was
sardinhas (sardines). Very famous also outside the country, the Portuguese
sardinhas travelled through
Trás-os-Montes countless times on the back of pack animals led by the
almocreves.
Frame
We have been inspired by these noble merchants to design the
Nordest Sardinha, a
bikepacking created to go to the end of the world (and come back in one piece). Here the philosophy is to enjoy every pedalling, to discover the landscape and the people that the trip offers us, to contemplate the stars in some remote place, and the next morning to roll up the sleeping bag to continue the
adventure.
The Nordest Sardinha is a machine to taste kilometers, comfortably, without haste, without problems, with our baggage well secured and weights distributed optimally, keeping low the center of gravity.
The adventurer Sardinha is designed to run autonomously on dirt tracks for many days, with the safety, comfort and convenience offered by a double butted
CRMO 4130 tubing frame and modern
safety geometry thanks to the
head tube angle and the
short chainstays. Many travellers have tested the prototypes and agree in highlighting the
incredible comfort of its geometry, how well it
climbs and how
confident it is, even in difficult descents.
The frame can accommodate plus wheels for extra traction and flotation:
27.5 “+ up to 3.0″, 29 “, and
29″ + up to 2.6 “. With regard to the fork, the kit includes a
rigid chromoly steel fork matching the frame. The Sardinha is prepared to fit all types of
supports, bags, saddlebags, mudguards and accessories you can imagine.
Fork
This rigid fork is engineered for our Nordest Sardinha frame and is compatible with any frame designed for 100 mm. travel fork, can accommodate a
29 x 3.0″ tire with ease, and is the perfect choice for many
29er frames.
The
Sardinha 110 fork dropouts were specifically designed and manufactured to deal with the forces that such a long fork will endure with large tyres.
Guide rails are available to install a
disc brake, as well as holes for
front rack mounting and
Three-Pack on both sides of the fork.
QR 15×110 thru-axle included with the fork.
