The frame.
Say hello to Mr Harry, our gravel, adventure bike. Designed to fill a gap in the market between a mountain bike and a gravel bike. Able to run up to 29 x 2.6 tyres, or 700 x 40mm, it’s up to you.
Handcrafted using Grade 9, 3AL-2.5V titanium, this beauty has proved to fit the bill for the riders wanting more from their drop bar adventure bike.
Like all the Smokestone frames, versatility and tyre clearance matter, mixed with great geometry.
Features.
Our Mr Harry is full of great features including, 3 x anything mounts, an engraved headtube logo, ability to fit a dropper post and rear rack mounts.
With boost (148mm) rear axle spacing, Mr Harry has plenty of rear tyre space, you can also request either sliding of fixed rear dropouts.
The front triangle is as large as it can be for each size, delivering maximum frame bag capacity. The top tube also features mounts for a top tube bag.
The bottom bracket is a BSA, threaded version so very easy to find spares for.
Another feature is the ability to fit a mtb suspension fork with up to 120mm of travel.
Why a 29er?
Like all of our bikes they have been designed by riders, experinces and a desire to do what the rider wants.
The UK is not a land with miles and miles of flat gravel trails. Depending on where you are in the uk you may well find you have to cope with very challenging rough terrain, but for anyone who is banging in the multi days, it wouldn’t be long before that demand would have to be met.
After experiencing the limit of the largest 700c tyre and the lack of tyre clearance Mr Harry seemed the perfect solution and it seems that others feel the same. Forget those tooth shattering descents, enjoy the joy of a larger tyre and even a suspension fork
Options.
Because all of our frames are made to order we can alter things to suit you needs, and normally at no extra cost.
Things such as tweaked the sizing, internal, or external cable routing, sliding or fixed dropouts, pinion of traditional can all be catered for.
Should you go for a pinion setup the frame comes with a splitter to allow for the fitment of a Gates belt drive system.
If you prefer a traditional drivetrain Mr Harry now comes with a UDH gear hanger.
