Soma New Albion Frame Privateer Colonial Blue

Build the Privateer into a versatile “all rounder” road bike, a medium duty tourer, a flat bar commuter with full fenders, or even a gravel bike. Compatible with derailleurs, internal geared hubs or single speed MTB hubs.

This latest update features 650b wheel specific design for the three smallest sizes, which reduces toe overlap common on small frames with 700c wheels

We have also added a huge 64cm size.

– Tange Infinity (Champion) double butted CrMo steel main tubes; tapered CrMo rear tubes

– Fits racks and fenders

– Three sets of water bottle bosses

– Extra tall headtube makes upright builds look better

– Pump peg on headtube

– Horizontal dropouts allows for geared, internal geared and single-speed builds

– 700c: Sizes 52-60cm are designed to fit cantilever brakes or V-brakes and can fit tires up to 700c x 41mm
