Every now and then I come across a bike that is just too cool not to share. Recently, Chad over at Red Barn Bicycles built up a killer Vassago Fisticuff commuter. This amazing ride is decked out with the latest in wood components to create a one of a kind ride.

First, I want to warn you that this initial review for PAC Designs has a crap-ton of photographs associated with it. Therefore, take your time and really browse the photos — you get an obvious notion that their bags are packed full of features, pockets, cubbys, nooks and zippers to stow your gear!
