The Penguin

The Penguin is a well dressed bird for all occasions. A super all purpose bicycle with the endurance racer in mind. A full compliment of Columbus Life tubing brought together around 29'ers (700c wheels). To complete this unique platform it is outfitted with the Paragon sliding disk tab dropout. This specific mounting point is designed for the incredible Rohloff internal 14 speed hub. No exposed drivetrain or the problems that can pose deep in the wilderness. Of course the frame is paired with the traditional new england segmented crown fork or any of Igleheart's more robust IgleFork designs. In addition the frame geometry will be adjusted for the suspension fork of your choice. Clever custom made cable routing termed "alien ears" secures the brake and shift lines but will allow for easy removal and installation. Request braze ons and you will have a machine capable of any application or adventure you have planned. The Penguin is the culmination of twenty years mountain biking and building experience assembled for the rider who values practicality and function above all. So, if you feel the need to dress up for this coming spring season, talk to Igleheart for the tailored fit you deserve and arrive with a timeless classic.
Rohloff build kits available.
