Allroad. Gravel. Road plus. Call it what you will, the Hardknott is our take on a road bike for beyond the asphalt. We took road geometry,  made room for 700 x 35c rubber (or 32c with full mudguards, or 650b x 42c for hitting the grav),  raised the head tube just a few mm and pushed it away a little to create toe room for larger tyres, kept the bottom bracket sweet and low for playful handling and ‘sat IN the bike’ stability, then filled in the details with all the good stuff – double butted 3AL / 2.5V titanium, variable tube diameters depending on the frame size, T47 BB shell for ultimate versatility with maximum bearing life and no creaking, straight 44mm headtube for the same reason, and internal routing done The Right Way. We’re using a Futura Gravel Fork from the Italian masters Columbus. You choose the paint and anodising finish, and for a little extra can go full custom.  If you had to choose one bike to keep for the rest of your life, it might well be this one.
