Sasha, in his ongoing search for elegant rides, snagged this Alex Singer touring bike. Now I know what you’re thinking: “great, more grandpa bikes…”. All I ask of you is to really look at the detailing on this noble steed. Singer’s bikes are world-renown for their beautiful craftsmanship and this bi-laminate lugged tourer is by no means the exception to this rule.

Check out more photos below.

The unfortunate story behind this bike is that Sasha came across it, found all the parts for it and never actually built it up due to time constraints. Instead, he sold it to another Singer-fan who now owns it. I’d love to see it refurbished! Anyone got photos?
