Have a Question?

Drivetrain, wheels, cockpit, and (especially!) paint – there’re a lot of considerations for building up a custom bike. If you’ve decided on an ALLIED but haven’t yet settled on spec and paint, then you can make a deposit on the frame to get into the production queue and buy time on the rest of those questions.

While we’re building your frame, we’ll also follow up to check the boxes for parts and pigments, including our standard paint options or a full-custom job. At current lead times, you’ll have around six weeks to finalize your ALLIED’s build and paint, after which we’ll collect the remaining balance, paint your frame, and assemble your bike.

If you change your mind, we’ll refund the deposit, so no pressure – this is just a tool to help you jump the line while working through the final details with our sales team.

Elevated chainstay

Building a chainstay this short with high tire volume is a packaging exercise because the chainring, chainstay, and tire all compete for space behind the bottom bracket. By moving the ABLE chainstay up and out of the way we could make it super-wide resulting in an incredibly responsive ride.

1x Crankset

A 1x drivetrain is quickly becoming the industry standard for gravel: You’ll always find the right gear at the right time. The ABLE is 1x-specific, which allows us to elevate the chainstay for tire clearance without resorting to a super-wide mountain bike-like Q-factor.

Tire clearance

The ABLE is designed around a 700x42c: This is the tire size we recommend for optimum BB height and steering (remember: tire size affects steering geometry.) But if you ride in really chunky rocky terrain the ABLE can adapt with 650c wheels and tires as big as 47mm in the rear and 55mm in the front.

Adventure-ready

Four sets of bottle mounts -- one on each side of the downtube, one set on the seat tube, and a top tube mount ideally suited for a bolt-on bag.
