Weight is a decision.

02 · Layup

Fourteen plies. Three angles.

Carbon is only as stiff as the direction the fibre runs. We lay it by hand, one sheet at a time, at the angle each part of the frame needs. Then we sign the inside of the down tube.

Built to order. Eight weeks.

Frame laid up in week one, cured in week two, painted in week five, built in week seven. You get a photograph at each. The eighth week is us riding it, so you don't have to find out anything first.

Builds

Three starting points. One frame.

Every build starts from the same Nine frame. What changes is what you hang on it, and every line can be swapped before we cut a hose.

Start a build.

Pick a starting point, then argue with every line. We'll send the build sheet with the weight on it before we start, and the actual weight, on a scale, before we ship.
