Sierra Nevada - El Grande - Gravel Sykkel
Sierra Nevada - El Grande - Gravel Sykkel
This is not a generic off the shelf frame, it’s a complete custom bike. We designed more of an “all-road” bike than a full gravel bike (hence the 2x Grx crank). We wanted a bike that would go fast on asphalt and not to feel sluggish on gravel or the road . We also designed the BB around Chris King's T47 threaded bottom bracket standard, for the benefits of a larger bb30 style bracket for stiffness, it also offers a greater weld area. The head-tube is an oversized 44mm that tapers down to 56mm at the base - this offers more strength and rigidity over the standard straight gauge head tubes.
