After what feels like an eternity in design, the first prototype of the 427 Integrated Road bike is ready for showtime!

Back in the 60s, NASCAR set the engine size limit to 427 cubic inches, which pushed every car manufacturer to respond with their all out performance option right at that limit. Now, Big Block is about 50 years late to that party, but arriving all the same! Quick specs:

-UDH dropouts
-custom aero profiled carbon seat tube
-custom titanium seat mast with @ritcheylogic hardware
-custom titanium front derailleur hanger, clamp on for a fully removable option for you 1x curious out there
-custom titanium integrated headset in partnership with @canecreekusa

Designed, shaped, cured, fabbed, welded, bonded, painted, assembled, and cussed at all in the basement in Raleigh NC.

Come see the 427 at @made.bike in August and @craftedbikeshow in September.

Huge thanks to @lee_fitzhugh for the track time. Photo work by the inimitable @pedalingnomad as always.

A new dropout design, no visible brake lines in this full FSA kit, carbon spokes on the new Vision RS wheels, huge U shaped down tube, octagonal top tube, Swiss Stop brake system, a No. 6 fork, and a purple chain.

There ain’t nothing calm about this bike. It’s aimed at performance.

Come see this in person at the @made.bike show

A team All-Road Phinney Ridge build.
Kept the clearance down on this because this bike doesn’t need huge tires.
Went with the Road Holes ethos of mid weight tubing, heavier chainstays, and a large pear to hexagon downtube. This keeps the frame feeling stiff and responsive especially with the 425mm stays.

Drift Away… ✨👌🏽✨
One of two Drifters for this lucky owner (Gabe). Dream bikes don’t need to say dreams, and every box is checked here. Naturally, custom geometry is dialed, goes without saying. 👊🏽
No. 22’s in house anodized finish is impeccable. Matching Ti fenders, stem, Silca frame pump, computer mount and No. 6 fork really tie the room together. Those limited edition chrome GRX cranks and @tomii_cycles bell are classy AF! 🔥🎉🔥
