Distance carrier

The Stoater (from £2,695) is Shand’s original go-anywhere drop bar bike, using a steel fork and skinny tubes for more comfort on long-haul rides, and more mounting points for even more luggage.

Versatile nature

Shand offers a £225 ‘100+’ dropout upgrade to the Stooshie (and Stoater for that matter), which means the bike can be set up single-speed, belt drive, internal geared or with a regular derailleur.
