700 x 47c or 650b x 2.1” - Columbus Futura Cross+
Cover big distances at speed with our take on the ultimate gravel adventure bike. From your front door, into the hills and back again, the TRIPI will eat up the miles on any road or trail. Confident on sketchy terrain and rugged descents, it takes as much inspiration from mountain bikes as road bikes meaning it's not scared of a bit of singletrack if that’s your thing.
Gravel racer, day tripper, weekend shredder or your daily commuter - this versatile frame features a carefully selected Columbus steel tube set for all day comfort, multiple load carrying configurations, clearance for big tyres and confidence inspiring geometry.

No mo’ toe clip
Toe clip is a pain but it isn’t a thing on the TRIPI, even on our smallest sizes. Run up to a 700c x 47 and focus on the trail ahead.

For ups and downs
All sizes are ready for a 125mm dropper post and have a sloping top tube for a bit more standover height when you need it.
Progressive geometry thrives on steep climbs and inspires confidence on descents.

practically perfect
We aim to eliminate complexity and build long lasting, hassle free frames.
The TRIPI has full external cable routing, functional but clean hardware and mounting points for racks and mudguards.
Our focus is less on gimmicks and more on building frames that work when you need them to.

All our frames come with a UDH hanger that is easily replaced at your local bike shop if it takes a knock. Our 3D printed dropouts are also fully compatible with T-Type derailleurs.
If you’d like us to remove the derailleur guides from the chain stay for a clean wireless or single speed look or add Di2 routing you can cus at checkout.

fINELY BALANCED
The TRIPI frame geometry has been carefully scaled based on anthropometric data.
Chain stay length also grows with frame size. This may not be the easiest way to build bikes but it means every rider gets the same ride characteristics, no matter their height.

Where to start?
A good place to start to find the perfect fit for our frames is our size guide below. We’ve split our models across 5 sizes which means a Medium in one brand may not be a Medium in ours. We’d recommend considering the notes below the chart too when picking your fit.
Compare your current bike
If you have a frame that you feel comfortable on you can measure the effective top tube length and compare it to our geometry chart. Although not an exact science, it will let you judge how the cockpits might compare. Account for stem length if that will change between bikes.
Personal Preference
A larger frame is more stable and more predictable at speed, however, the longer wheelbase will mean it will require more movement from the rider to shift the weight balance of the bike and you’ll have work a bit harder to throw it around.
A smaller frame will turn quicker, moving the bike around will be easier and the bike will be more responsive to inputs from the rider or trail.
Think about how and where you ride - blasting down fire roads vs spinning up on twisty backroads.
your body dimensions
We are all built differently. If you have a long torso and shorter legs compared to others the same height and you are between sizes you may want to size up. If you are all legs this could push you onto a smaller frame.
