No.22 Bikes. Great Divide frameset – first look
The Great Divide
Whether it’s a mountain pass in the Rockies, an MTB race that traverses 2000 miles or simply the name of the connection between the US and Canada via the Rocky mountains – when you use such a moniker on your latest and greatest frame set it has got to live up to some scrutiny!
Perusing through the interwebs at pretty bikes, much to the chagrin of my wife I must add, and I chanced upon Lead-out.co.uk importers of this pretty little number from No.22 Bicycle company in Canada.
Pretty it certainly is, I’m looking forward to seeing it in real life!
The Great Divide has been designed to showcase the best characteristics of titanium while embracing the latest developments in frame design. Swaged chain stays and an oversized, bi-ovalized down tube are bridged by a PressFit 30 bottom bracket shell to provide stiffness and instant responsiveness under power. An oversized head tube accommodates the latest tapered forks while strengthening the bike’s front end for confidence-inspiring steering precision and cornering stability. Tempering these characteristics are a svelte seat tube and seat stays designed to keep the velvety ride quality that titanium is legendary for.
