The Tupelo frame is designed for road and light gravel rides
Nick wanted a comfortable bike to keep him fit and something he could ride across Wales on one of his adventures. We kept the build simple with the alloy cockpit and Hope 20FIVE wheels and after his test ride Nick decided on Shimano's electric gears as the shifting is so sharp and quick. The combination of the 11-34 cassette and 48/31 chainrings gives him nice low gears for easy rides.
The drop from saddle to the bars is only 5cm but the frame design provides a nicely proportioned bike without the need for lots of spacers under the stem. This frame is the medium/large which equates to approximately 55cm, saddle height is 74cm.
Shimano GRX Di2 groupset, precise shifting and a modest gear range
Hutchinson Overide tyres in 35mm width, smooth on asphalt with grippy shoulders for the dirt
Clearance for up to 38mm tyres or 32mm with mudguards
Columbus Futura Gravel Fork - the high quality carbon compliments the frame
Deda Elementi cockpit - understated Italian quality and nicely shaped handlebars
Neat rear drop-outs and internal cable routing. 34 tooth cassette for steep climbs.
The Shimano GRX hoods provide good grip and safety over rough terrain
