STANDARD PARTS

We’ve based our design on classic industry-standard parts that have been in use for decades, giving you plenty of options for compatibility. Check the tech specs section below for exact specifications.

A light blue road bike with black handlebars, a front disc brake, and a small black saddle. The bike has a silver front fork, a black cable running along the frame, and a mountain bike tire with a yellow reflection on the sidewall. There are stickers on the bike's top tube and handlebar stem, including a Sim Works sticker. The floor beneath the bike is wooden.

BRAKE & CLEARANCE

Frame & fork require 47-57mm reach brakes (typically called mid-reach, but can vary depending on the brand. It’s best to confirm the brake matches the above specs.) This brake reach allows clearance for up to 35c tires.

FULLY MECHANICAL

We believe there’s still a place for mechanical cable actuated shifting and braking in this world, so we designed our frame around it. Plus, it allows you to run that sweet vintage groupset you’ve been hoarding!

FENDERS

Frame and fork are equipped with eyelets for fenders. We even have a stealth fender bolt on the back of the seattube for clean mounting. (While running fenders, the max possible tire size is 28c.)

3RD MOUNT

Size 55 & 58 come with a third bottle mount on the bottom of the down tube. Use it for more liquid on long remote rides or as a handy tool/small pump mount.

COLORS
