TT c-to-c: 54cm
Wheelbase: 104cm
135mm rear dropout spacing
Provisioned for integrated fenders (under-bridge mounts) + lighting (forkblade wiring guides) / racks (dual eyelets front/rear) / chainguard (braze-ons seat and down tube. Designed for 650B tires up to 42mm (Hetres do fine) with 52mm fenders (without requiring any bending), down tube braze-ons, pencil stays, and low trail fork. The top tube and head tubes have semi-filleted lugs, with the remainder of the frame being fully lugged elsewhere.
