Still we would not recommend the Hike-Use primarily for this kind of use, as a sturdier, heavier and stiffer frame would still probably be more optimal. But then that frame will feel less lively and possibly less fun and fast when unloaded. Everything in bike design, or any design really, is a compromise.

It looks like we will soon have an actual physical location for our office, workshop and showroom in north-central Helsinki. This feels like a major step forward again in making Tunk a “real company” and not just our own weird and long bicycle design project.
