Edit Final Specification

All the images we've used of the Edit were taken using the latest set of prototypes. Now that we're in production we're able to confirm the final specification of the frame, including some small but significant improvements to the design.

None of the changes affect the bike's geometry, clearances or specifications, and of course everything has been tested. We will bring revised photography to the site as soon as possible, but for now here's a rundown of those improvements:

Cable Routing

The cable routing has been moved from the top of the tubes to the underside. This enables us to clean up the little CNC cable widgets at the front of the frame and it also means the rear mech cable run on the chain stay is no longer vulnerable to damage from the chain. It also means…

Bottle Cage Bosses

There is a set of bottle cage bosses on the top of the down tube, in a sensible place that’s reachable when riding. There’s plenty of room for a good sized bottle even when running a piggy-back shock.

The illustration shows the location of the bottle cage bosses inside the front triangle, where the bottle is kept away from mud splatter and can be reached from a riding position. The shock shown is a Cane Creek DBair which is just about the biggest shock around.

Head Tube Gusset

On the prototypes there was a simple junction between the top tube, down tube and head tube. The Small and Medium sizes required a custom mitre between the tubes but the Large, by vitue of the longer head tube, had a gap. We felt that aesthetically it wasn’t quite right, and was a potential weak point (although it tested fine). We’ve added a small gusset between the top tube and down tubes which eliminates both issues:

Graphics

All the bikes on the site are prototypes. The graphics on those bikes were also proto graphics. Production bikes will have slightly revised, more sophisticated and better executed graphics. They’ll be just as simple and unobtrusive. AS this develops we'll release images on the site and through social media.

Frame Weight

There is no aesthetic change to the tubing but we were able to remove material from certain areas and specify slightly thinner tube walls which results in a frame weight that’s around 200g lighter than the prototypes. That’s why weights aren’t listed on the site. As soon as accurate weight information is available, it will be published to the site.
