Custom Crumpton

Custom Crumpton

Fair Wheel Bikes built this custom Crumpton carbon townie around an immaculate translucent finish and a carefully selected mix of lightweight components. THM Clavicula SE cranks, Hope Tech 4 brakes, a Syncros one-piece cockpit, Tactic hubs, Dura-Ace drivetrain parts and other boutique hardware bring the finished bike to just 6.15 kg (13 lb 9 oz).

First and foremost, the paint job is immaculate.

On top of being a master when it comes to building carbon bike frames, Nick Crumpton is also a remarkable painter.
