Privateer (Frame w/optional fork)

The Privateer is practical CrMo steel frame that can be built up as an "all rounder" road bike, a medium duty loaded touring bike, or a trusty commuter. Its horizontal dropouts allow you the options to run a derailleur drivetrain, internal geared hub, or single speed.

This latest update includes a new 64cm size and two colorways. We also chose to use the 650b wheel size on the three smallest sizes, because those sizes often have pronounced toe overlap with wider 700c tires.

- Tange Infinity (Champion) double butted CrMo steel main tubes; tapered CrMo rear tubes

- Fits racks and fenders

- Three sets of water bottle bosses

- Extra tall headtube makes upright builds look better

- Pump peg on headtube

- Horizontal dropouts allows for geared, internal geared and single-speed builds

- Tubes have an anti-rust coating inside
