XC (Reynolds)
This is the Reynolds 853 variation of our versatile and highly customisable cross country frame. It comes with a lighter and more responsive Reynolds 853 tubing throughout.
We can customise your toptube length and seat tube length exactly to create 100% unique frames built around your height.
Your frame is also built in relation to the amount of fork travel you choose to use, and can be put together with either a long or short headtube on all frames.
The perfect headangle for this frame is 71 degrees however it can be changed upon request.
Our 853 XC frames are available as a geared frame (with Ritchey vertical dropouts) or a singlespeed variant (with Rohloff horizontal dropouts.) The other frame options are numerous including frame extras such as cable stops and bottle mounts positioned exactly to your preference.
Since the options here are so great, each frame that goes out is totally unique to the customer. These are the ultimate in build to order lightweight Reynolds frames suitable for cross country and singletrack.
We also produce a slightly heavier and cheaper T45 version, and a Freeride frame for heavier riding.
Please note our frame geometry diagram before deciding dimensions for ordering.
Virtual toptube length = +3/4" / 19mm on top of actual toptube length.
