The Ever Changing Evergreen

The Evergreen is a bit of a chameleon by nature, adapting and changing to best suit the terrain it’s tackling. Day or night, loaded or unloaded, technical or rolling, with a few pre-ride modifications the Evergreen can be perfectly suited to handle it all. Below is a photo essay that demonstrates how a few modifications can transform the bike from a road worthy rig, to a loaded expedition bike.

Exhibit A:

Model

: Seven Cycles Evergreen SL
Purpose: Fast road rides. Keep up with any pure road bike and still be able to roll in the woods
How: Schwalbe One tires. Full on road performance – and I’d still ride these on any mountain trail.

Exhibit B:

Model

Purpose: Mostly paved conditions with some dirt road sections.
