Teased in our 2025 Made Bike Show coverage, Tumbleweed Bicycle Co just announced an updated Stargazer drop-bar 29er. We lauded this bike as “best in class” during our review, and these updates add to the bike’s future-proofed versatility. Let’s check it out…
The Stargazer remains true to its roots with generous tire clearance, a full suite of mounts for racks and bottles, and a comfortable, upright riding position for long days in the saddle. This new generation adds fresh colors (Light Brick Red and Steel Blue) along with thoughtful upgrades to performance and versatility.

- Updated geometry to match the Titanium Stargazer, with a 10mm longer effective top tube across all sizes

Stargazer Geometry
The top tube grew 10 mm across all sizes in this newly updated all-steel chassis.
Use Case and Who’s it For?
If you’re looking for a dedicated drop-bar 29er touring bike that still rides with liveliness unloaded on your home turf terrain, the Stargazer is an ideal candidate. Its oversized, multi butted and heat-treated size-specific chromoly steel tubing creates a supportive ride when riding out for an overnighter or a fully-loaded mixed terrain tour. Front and rear rack mounts make this a legit mountain touring bike, and its generous tire clearance, up to 29×2.6” with lots of breathing room, ensures you won’t be under-gunned when the roads get rough. If touring in dry and arid places, five sets of bottle bosses ensure you can carry a lot of water.
