peregrine

A tourer? Commuter? Monster ‘cross? Dress it up whichever way you like, the Peregrine is our most flexible frameset, with a classic lugged construction.

The Peregrine harks back to some of the classic all-rounder bikes of old. Sturdy enough to hit the dirt, nimble enough for some singletrack, stable enough for touring – the Peregrine will do what you want to do, take you where you want to go. There’s enough clearance for 2.0” wide 29” tyres for true off-roading, or a nice fat 700x37 (even with mudguards) for touring, around town, or a bit of rough-stuffing. Full braze-ons for racks and mudguards mean you’re set for some long touring as well.

The frame is designed to give you sharp yet predictable handling. Long stays and a low bottom bracket mean stability even with a load. However we don’t believe ‘stable’ needs to mean it handles like a cumbersome old truck. Unloaded, you can still rip along your local trails or even enter a local ‘cross race or two should the mood take you. A Peregrine will do basically anything you ask of it.

Designed for drops - the Peregrine is intended to be set up with drop bars, whether these are regular road drops, flared drops for off road use, or an ultra shallow drop moustache type bar is your call depending on preference and likely use. That's not to say they can't be used with a flat bar, just that it's not the intention.

Eccentric Bottom Bracket shell and insert. EBB shells have been used for many years in tandems as a device to tension the timing chain linking front and rear cranks. Used on a single bike they add versatility, giving the option of using an internal geared hub or a single gear while still maintaining easy set up of a disc brake.

Disc only – this frame being intended to cope with the mud and dirt of the forest or the wet and grime of a winter's road with a load on, disc brakes are really the sensible choice.

The frame has full braze-ons for racks and mudguards without interfering with the disc caliper, triple water bottle cage mounts, and open style guides for brake and gear cables for all-weather reliability.
