While the frame has a beautiful Cabernet Domestique finish over some sexy smooth fillets, the first thing anyone asks about is the Lauf Carbonara leaf spring suspension fork up front. I wanted something simple, low maintenance, and light.
Plenty of tire and chainring clearance and a sexy curved chainstay bridge!
Super smooth fillet seat cluster and my teardrop internal routing port for the rear derailleur cable and housing. Rack mounts ensure this bike is ready for a bikepacking adventure from time to time.
Tapered headtube and luscious fillets up front. The lonely internal on the downtube is for a dropper post, which amazingly was backordered! It’s on there now.
Paragon’s low mount dropouts hold the rear end together and an XT rear derailleur handles the 11x46t cassette.
Another view of the chainstays, bridge and chainring clearance.
Bending, cutting and mitering this HUGE curved seatstay bridge was a challenge.
Lots of internals ducking into the top and down tubes on the non-driveside.
