The Champagne and Lilac frames feature our new Gran Trajet Fork Crown meaning they suit a 48b tire perfectly, and will fit 42s with fenders. The Gran Trajet fork crown is designed to perfectly mimic the arch of a fender like the Honjo Smooth 62, to leave you with a seamless look.
The two newer colors mentioned above now also feature Imperial Oval fork blades. The Imperial Oval blades are believed to provide the optimal passive suspension when it comes to fork blades. This leads to greater over all comfort and speed, making the bike they're attached to a true randonneuring weapon.
Build Notes (IMPORTANT):
The suggested rider weight has changed and is now: 100kg (220lbs)
The Lightning Bolt is designed around a 650b wheelset
The Galaxy Black has a different fork crown, which means it fits a 42b tire perfectly, but a 48 is too close a squeeze in the fork. If you want to run fenders we suggest 38s.
The Champagne and Lilac frames feature our new Gran Trajet Fork Crown meaning they suit a 48b tire perfectly, and will fit 42s with fenders.
This is a light weight road and light gravel bike, so don't go all Evel Knievel thinking you're Missy Giove bombing this thing down some single track. It's not designed for that.
For those of you looking to run a front derailleur the outer diameter of the seat tube is 28.6.
