Bilenky Hedgehog mountain bike

Derek Peterson's bike

Model description (provided by builder)

Hedgehog - Tough and tender. Touring mountain geometry, laid back like the best of the original mountain bikes.

This bike was built with Columbus Metax stainless steel tubes. For resistance to corrosion, stainless steel provides an economical alternative to titanium.

A comment from Derek Peterson regarding his BTC equipped bike.

"Just returned from 4 weeks in the Puerta Vallarta region where I rode my bike 340 miles. I gotta tell you, YOU DID AN OUTSTANDING JOB!!!! My machine exceeds expectations and my expectations were exceedingly high! I climbed steep single track trails, forded rocky and deep stream beds, cruised down busy cobblestone roads, and did some bomber down hill runs. The bike handled beautifully. (I even had a good crash - took the skin off my knee, hip, fore arm, shoulder, and fore head. Wrecked a nice helmet and a new pair of gloves. The bike survived without a scratch."
