The Polyvalent is Velo Orange’s “do-it-all” frameset. It is the ideal platform to build a sturdy tourer, practical commuter, comfortable all-day randonneur, or a rugged gravel bike.

Tire clearance is generous. With fenders: 650b x 48 or 26 x 2.3” (smooth). Forgoing fenders, the Polyvalent can gobble up 650b x 2.1” or 26x2.3 (knobby). 

There are star reinforcements on nearly every braze-on on the frame and fork. The rear brake routing is internal and features super easy installation via a brazed in tube - no more fishing for the housing.

The rear end of the bike features dedicated rack and fender mounts.

The fork has an elegant French-style bend that features braze-ons for a multitude of mounting options including: Rando-style front racks, side-mounted cargo cages, and low-rider pannier racks.

The seatstays wrap elegantly around the integrated seat collar and nearly meet at a point.

Of course, it wouldn't be a Velo Orange frame without proper fender mounts that face the tire to create a perfect fender installation every time.

Here are the specs:
  • Frameset material: 4130 double butted chromoly steel
  • Fork: 1 1/8" threadless, 4130 chromoly steel with elegant bend
  • Wheel Size: 650B or 26"

  • Fork Spacing: 12 x 100mm, thru-axle (included)
  • BB: English threaded 68mm

Partly old, partly new, get while available

This is version 5 of the Polyvalent having frameset geometry dating back several decades with short front fork trail geometry making it easier to haul loads over both front and rear wheels and providing quick handling. This frameset can be built with a wide variety of gear trains. It also has F&R fender and rack mounts and a variety of water bottle mounts. Yet beyond old school this frameset uses disc brakes and has the necessary thru-axles for them too. Go ahead, try to find another frameset like this one, partly old and partly new, but no, the commercial bicycle industry has turned away from framesets like this, so get one of these while they are available.

Love These

I have built two of these and I just bought a third frame.

Versatile, attractive and smooth riding.

Beautiful out of the Box

Frame and fork arrived sooner than expected (always a plus). Tore into the box like a kid on Christmas day. The attention to detail on the brazing, welds and finish is top notch. The frame is still wrapped up, on the hooks, until later this spring when I have time to complete the build. Then, it'll be road tested. Can hardly wait.

Great bike

The polyvalent is a great do everything frame. Despite being flexible, it still feels reasonable quick and fast to ride. Love the addition of thru-axle & threadless 9/8” head tube.
