Model: Cache Titanium
How tall are you? What size frame did you get? How does it fit you?
I’m 5’11” and purchased the 58cm Cache. It feels just right from the first ride and is going to be incredibly comfortable for the all day epics.
Bike spec: full custom build!

Additional notes: You need the MTB spindle to get the correct chainline…and a friend who can machine a part to press it in and out of the crank arm cleanly! Tool: HC108-13TS, Spindle: HC108-07S
What do you love about your new bike?
It is light, confidence inspiring even in the loosest of gravel and sooo fast!
