As radical as that elevated chain stay might look, I am excited the new Allied Cycle Work’s ABLE still has that 420mm chain stay for most frame sizes with enough room to accommodate 700x47c/650×55 and 700x43c/650×47 rear tires.
But before you call it just an updated Allroad with a new chain stay, its geometry has been reworked with a slightly taller stack, a 71° head tube with a 66mm trail for the increasingly more technical gravel, or just your hard all-day gnar grind. Still handmade in Little Rock, Arkansas and I love the music video!
