The Bombora, a "gravel bike" if there ever has been one. It is essentially a slightly sportier version of the Evasion. The biggest difference between the two is the Bombora has a 68mm bottom bracket shell, so it takes a road crank. It's ditched the Rocker Dropout for a simple 12mm thru axle dropout. It has a slightly lower trail number, but just slightly. It is designed around a 650b/ 27.5" wheel with a 2.3" max tire size. The Bombora is still sporting all of the braze-ons to have some racks, fenders, or whatever you want hanging off of it. A great do-it-all bike from multi-day trips, commuting to and from work, or getting out for a fast rip.
THIS UPDATED VERSION OF THE BOMBORA TAKES A FLAT MOUNT BRAKE FRONT AND REAR.
Build Notes:
Designed around a 650b/ 27.5" Wheel with a 2.3" max tire size.
If you want to run it 700c, your max clearance will be a 48mm tire.
Takes a ROAD crank. Ideally 1x with a maximum 44 tooth chainring. You can set it up 2x, but it's on you to figure that out.
Front brake is NOW FLAT MOUNT as well as the Rear. If you're struggling to find a brake setup, the Crust Palm Oil Brake Kit will help solve that problem.
Front and rear thru axles are included.
