2008 Dahon Tournado Description
The all-day, all-weather, all-roads, travel bike. The Tournado is a handmade, lugged-steel touring bike that celebrates classical frame geometries and component designs. In true hand-made tradition, each frame is painstakingly welded and brazed from Tange Prestige tubes and each lug lovingly hand-painted. A Brooks Champion saddle in a Dahon custom antique brown and lusciously rich Brooks leather bar tape highlight the component package. The Tournado fits tyres of up to 700 x 40C and features a frame geometry designed for stability and a more comfortable upright, riding position. The result is a superbly balanced, supple ride that will deliver mile after mile of smiles. Best of all, the Tournado packs in fifteen minutes into it’s own AirPorter travel case so you’ll never have to leave home without your bike again. Pack your bags… the road is waiting.
