Verano Cyclocross Bike
The Verano Cyclocross bike was designed in the summer of 2015 and then slowly built over the following months.
After finishing the Urban Mobility Course at CCA, I continued my passion for bikes and decided to build a frame and fork on my own.
That summer I researched and read as much as possible on framebuilding, bicycle design, geometry, and fit, in order to prepare myself and learn as much as possible. I designed the bike with cyclocross geometry, but with the ability to be more capable as well. This ended up being more similar to the current categories of all-road and gravel bikes.
Although the frame geometry is that of the traditional cyclocross bike, it works as a great all-rounder and its details help contribute to that versatility.
It features:
Wide tire clearances, 45mm rear and up to a 2.1 inch MTB tire in the front
Segmented fork
Front and rear fender mounts
Front rack mount
3 bottle mounts
Semi-horizontal dropout for geared or singlespeed use
Routing for front deraileur
