Donner Und Blitzen: Breadwinner Cycles B-Road Special

Donner Und Blitzen: Breadwinner Cycles B-Road Special

Here I am thinking I was being a smartass by titling this story Donner Und Blitzen because if you order this Breadwinner Cycles’ limited edition B-Road before October 21st, you’ll receive it just in time for Christmas.

As it turns out there’s a Wild and Scenic river in Oregon called Donner und Blitzen, and while it’s nowhere near Portland, it’s in exactly the sort of terrain I’d like to explore on a Breadwinner of my own.

Ira Ryan and Tony Pereira are offering you the chance to get a B-Road of your own for Christmas this year, at the amazing price of US$5695 for a complete, made-to-measure custom bike with a top shelf finishing kit.

The builders of Breadwinner Cycles both have reputations as some of the best skills in the business, as well as the greatest passion for riding. You can be assured that a Breadwinner frame is made for life.
