The Piolet is our bikepacking and rough-road riding frame. It's designed for off-road touring, including dirt and gravel roads, double track, and single track. We built it to be sturdy, simple, and very capable. As with our other frames it's double butted chromoly steel. The fork is triple butted for reduced weight and extra strength. The seatstays come together in a cool mono-stay wishbone and compliment the segmented fork. The frameset is covered in bosses for easily mounting any racks, water-bottles, gear cages, and even fenders. It's happily set up in bikepacking fashion or as a traditional rack and bag tourer!

The Piolet handles similarly to a XC mountain bike, but slightly more in the touring direction. Feels natural with drop bars or flat bars. Non-suspension corrected fork handles predictably with or without a load!

Size Small is designed around 26 x 2.4" tires. Medium, Large, and XL use 29 x 2.4" or 27.5 x 2.8" tires.

Versatile!!!

I have had 2.25” 29er tires and 700x 40c touring tires on the Piolet for different rides. Flat bars and now drops. This frame can do pretty much anything it’s asked. The most comfortable 406 miles I’ve ever ridden on Ragbrai. It floats over everything I throw at it!

Fantastic frame

What a great frame! This was super easy to build up and all the cable guides came with c clips so I didn't have to mess with zip ties. I already had 27.5 wheels to use on this build and they work so well I may never replace them with 29s.

This bike is super comfortable and feels much lighter than I expected. I had the long setback seatpost and I really needed it for the Brooks saddle to get it back far enough. I feel a little slower on this bike vs. my all-road bike but it could be I need to make some gearing changes. I need to spend some more time tweaking fit but this thing is a keeper!

Love my Piolet!

I have been searching for the perfect all around frame and have found it in the Piolet! I mainly ride tarmac with occasional off the beaten path excursions and this frame handles it all in stride. I have never been so comfortable than with the Piolet’s geo. I love that I can swap out a wide range of tire widths for the ride at hand! Great frame!

great frame!

this is a great frameset at a good price. Loads of cool features and mounting points, as well as having super unique looks. I am going to repaint my frame and build it up soon, I will share the results! Thanks for making so many cool bikes VO!

I like it!

A very nice frame for the price. I wasn't sure about the color at first but it's grown on me, it looks great in bright sunlight.
I'm taking it on a long tour this spring, I'll write another review after that.

It's designed for off-road touring, including dirt and gravel roads, double track, and single track. We built it to be sturdy, simple, and very capable. As with our other frames it's double butted chromoly steel. The fork is triple butted for reduced weight and extra strength. The seatstays come together in a cool mono-stay wishbone and compliment the segmented fork. The frameset is covered in bosses for easily mounting any racks, water-bottles, gear cages, and even fenders. It's happily set up in bikepacking fashion or as a traditional rack and bag tourer! \u003cbr\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Piolet handles similarly to a XC mountain bike, but slightly more in the touring direction.
