Custom Crumpton Lightweight Carbon Townie Build

Fair Wheel Bikes built this custom Crumpton carbon townie around an immaculate translucent orange-and-black finish and a carefully selected mix of lightweight components. THM, Hope, Tactic, Dura-Ace and other boutique parts brought the completed flat-bar bike to just 6.15 kg (13 lb 9 oz.).

First and foremost, the paint is immaculate. Nick Crumpton is a master carbon-frame builder and an equally remarkable painter.
