18Bikes Monstercross/Gravel Frame + Custom Fork

Post by polarcherry »

Haven't posted on here for a while but this frame is ideal for this forum and took me on the Tuscany Trail, and several off bikepacking tours in France, Italy and Slovenia :smile:

18Bikes custom built monstercross/gravel frame. Built to take the largest 700c tyre possible but still use a standard road compact double chainset (although typically I ended up using 1x11 most of the time). Stealth dropper routing, paragon rocker dropouts. Reynolds 853 Pro team main frame tubes. 3 bottle bosses. Great condition and internally treated for rust prevention

Forks custom build Sword cycles, built to have the shortest a-t-c length and still take a 29x2.3 tyre. 3 bolt cage mounts on the legs, internal dyno routing tube for easy set up.

Basically looks like a standard gravel bike but can take much bigger tyres.

Suit somebody about 6 foot tall (can send 18bikes build sheet)

Adjustable dropouts 445mm – long length takes a 29x2.1/2.2 tyre (varies by tyre manufacture), dropouts shortest position 425mm nice handling road bike. Swapped out the big tyres for 700x35mm Marathon Supreme tyres, full mudguards and became my winter road bike.

Lovely bike and only selling as I loved it so much I had a custom version build but using Titanium to replace it.

Hard to price secondhand as it’s custom but custom mainly for big tyre clearance. Cost me £1300 for the frame and another £250 for the forks. If I’m way off on price but your interested let me know.

Either Frame + Forks + Chris King inset headset + Tout Terrain Plug usb charger stem cap - £650

Or I can include wrapped Salsa woodchipper bars 44cm, 105 10spd STI levers, SLX rear mech (with wolftooth adapter to work with and front mech. For an extra £50 only with the frame

Ideally pick up from Sheffield as I don’t have a box to send but can prob arrange given a bit of time and postage paid at cost. PM for photos, questions etc
