TET Mountain Touring (TomET Touring)

Here is a practical design that you don't see often, a touring mountain bike. Most high end mountain bikes use a cross country racing geometry that was developed on the race circuits over the years. Like the touring road frame the mountain touring frame has longer chainstays, shorter top tube and more relaxed angles.

The Mountain Touring comes in three flavors Light Touring, Standard Touring and Expedition.

Light Touring uses the same tubing as the TomET.

Standard Touring has larger tube diameters and increased wall thickness for fully loaded (self contained) off road touring.

Expedition is beefy, reliable, and has the highest load capacity I can make using quality butted tubing.
