Made in Taiwan from Tange cro-mo tubing, the selection of tubing diameters and gauges offer a great blend of longevity, stiffness, ride quality and great value for a hand-welded frame.

The latest version is updated fit fatter tires while still maintaining "track" geometry because tracklocross is all the rage with the kids these days. 32mm knobbies fit without any trouble and although we haven't tried it, you could probably stuff some 35mm road tires in there depending on the tire. It also now has an anti-rust coating on the interior of the tubes and a dimpled drive side chainstay for increased crankset clearance.

If brakes are your thing, you'll need a caliper with at least 57mm of reach.
