End of season clearance - only one left

The concept of the DECADE range is based upon innovation, detailing, high quality and above all adaptability. The new Tripster is a unique frameset, designed as a ‘fast commuter’, but it can be built in a number of different ways to exactly suit the riding style of the individual. Use it with 700c wheels, road tyres and drops see here, or 26” with road tyres see here [we recommend 1.5 minimum, 1.9 max. to keep the BB height up] and flats, or 700c and flats see here, or set it up with 33x700c ‘cross tyres as a weekend racer or real on/off road commuter!

ED'S COMMUTER CAST: Ed from greatrock wanted ‘Not a Mountain Bike’, so we served him up a Tripster and this is what he did with it… video here

The 7005 series alloy, double butted frame has it’s geometry based on our extremely successful Crosslight frames, but with tweaks such as longer head tubes to make it more ‘commuter friendly’. The frame has an ‘inboard’ mounted disc brake to keep it cleanly out of the way and the cables all run along the down tube, adding to the uncluttered look and feel of this frameset.

[Avid cable operated calipers are ideal for this frame or Tektro ‘Lyra’ if you are on a budget].

There is plenty of clearance for larger tyres, 700c x 42 and 26” x 1.5 fit fine. Disc brakes mean swapping wheels sizes is not a problem.

Specially designed dropouts [135mm hub spacing] have seperate rack and mudguard mounts and there are eyeletted bridges for proper attachment.

For 2011 the new carbon DC37 fork is lighter, has disc mount and mudguard eyelets and the re-profiled chain stays give greater crank and heel clearance.

Included in frameset price: Frame/Carbon DC37 fork/Kuk alloy post/clamp/headset.
