Racelight Gran Fondo Ti

This totally new frame uses the proven geometry of the Granfondo Scandium Alloy and Kinesis's own Custom Drawn Ti3AL/2.5V tubeset.

The outcome is a superbly finished, smooth riding frameset, designed to go the distance and last for years. If speed, comfort, distance, adaptability and durability top your list, then this is the frameset for you.

"... it just feels like its attached to your feet and coming with you, almost like running in mid air". Road.cc

The Gran Fondo Ti is manufactured by the builders of some of the worlds best Ti frames using top quality, Cold Worked and Stress Relieved, double-butted tubing.

Geometry is designed to be forgiving over long distances, with slightly longer (but not too long) headtubes and chainstays. The GF Ti is also a versatile frameset, with mudguard eyelets on frame and fork, and rack mounts. The frameset is designed for standard reach brakes, allowing ample choice of high end componentry.

Racelight Gran Fondo Ti - Highlights

Ti 3AL/2.5V: The GF Ti is constructed from an aerospace grade Titanium alloy: 94% titanium, 3% aluminum and 2.5% vanadium. This is one of the strongest alloys of titanium available in a seamless tube form.

CWSR: 'Cold Worked Stress Relieved' tubing. The tubing is shaped cold and then goes through a process to remove the stresses built up within the tube during forming.

HEADSET: Integrated 11/8", 36º/45º for a 45mm OD head tube. The headset drops into a tapered seat in the head tube and is tensioned using a headset tensioner within the fork steerer. Tensioning the headset centres it on the taper and prevents any play.

FORK: DC21. Carbon bladed with alloy crown and steerer. Eyeletted for mudguards. 520g.

R2000 Stays: Seat stays have a 2m radius curve. We tried 'hourglass' bend and various different curves and found a 2m radius was best for both comfort and performance over distance, which is what this frame is all about.

SEAT POST: 31.6mm. SEAT CLAMP: 34.9mm. FRONT MECH: 34.9mm. BB: 68mm. British.

" The overall finish of the frame is a work of art with tidy welds throughout including double passes on the higher stressed areas...It is one of the most sorted frames I've ever ridden and for everything except for out and out racing it will provide everything you need" - Road.cc
