Halcrow Trad Road

 

Columbus Spirit and Life main tubes with Columbus short-taper chainstays to produce a particularly light steel frame at 1.4 kg.

​

The frame was built to replace an overly large Giant Defy, so the majority of the build kit was carried over: the challenge was, how nice a bike can we build with the parts to hand?

​

The horizon paint job is harder than it looks, but we think it's worth the hours spent masking.

An etched bee tops off the build.
