Road frames (including cyclocross, gravel, urban, etc.): If you’re looking to build up your dream bike, here’s where you start. Here’s a look at some of our most popular bike frames: Some of these dirt-friendly drop-bar bikes are also referred to as “all-road” or “X-road.” On the other side of the spectrum, frames with full-suspension setups and flat handlebar designs are, in most cases, categorized as mountain bikes. Examples include cyclocross, gravel and touring bikes. But bikes with drop handlebars can be generally categorized as “road,” even if they’re designed to go beyond pavement. There are sub-categories within those, and these days many bikes blur the lines. Our frames are roughly organized into two main categories: road and off-road. ![]() At Jenson USA we carry bike frames for every style of riding, made from all different materials including steel, aluminum, titanium and carbon fiber.

That 17lbs Macho King is currently touring the UK with Nate as he visits key All-City dealers in the UK. And with the Nature Boy switching from a steel to carbon fork, further rewards can be had for the weight weenies amongst us! The move to thru axles means that the chain-tension duties are taken care of by an eccentric BB rather than track-end style dropouts.Įxpect sharp handling from these thoroughbred racers How low can you go? All-City have bucked this trend as the Macho King has dropped around 400 grams from its frame weight! All-City’s own staffer Nate has built up a Macho King weighing 17lbs!
