Étienne's Classic Tourer Hog's Back

Étienne's pink Hog's Back is one of the last of that colour way to leave the shop. He opted for a classic European style touring configuration - alt-bars reminiscent of northern Euro trekking/butterfly setups, components from Shimano's hard to find in North America Deore trekking group, and four panniers. Those panniers are special - made in Sherbrooke by Arkel, Étienne has had them since forever and has toured with them in Europe, with patches from everywhere he's been!
