The Tanglefoot Hardtack is everything you need / nothing you don't. A whatevering ATB whip for folks who reckon being trendy is as cool as owning a pair of Yeezys.
This large demo is currently set up with 700c wheels but we could swap those for some 650b x 2.6 wheels and tires if ya want. Gravel, Bike Packing, non-lift serve mountain biking, commuting, the Hardtack can do all of those things. Need one bike, not 17? Racks for a big trip, fenders for mud season? Lots of bottle bosses for long range desert service? Got it.
Vermont designed for the worst possible conditions, but rideable anywhere you need a tough, simple bike.
