Winter Training Bike
The Métier Vélo Winter Training Bike in its element.
The Métier Vélo Winter Training Bike is a disc brake road bicycle with clearance for 33mm tubular tires.  The relatively short 420mm chainstay, 73˚ seat and head tube angles, and stiff tubes provide a responsive ride.  Seventy millimeters of bottom bracket drop and 48mm of fork rake give a stability on long, rough descents.  Cosmetics are printed directly into the lugs or bonded to the frame. The Black-Ti finish of marine vanish and wax protects the carbon composite from UV and  is easily refreshed. Displayed at NAHBS 2016!
