Description
Note: Imperfects are frames that arrived from the factory with minor imperfections that we sell at a discount. These imperfections don't impact the performance, durability or warranty on the frame. In most cases. there is a very small indentation (smaller than a pea and about 1mm deep) in the top tube, seat tube or down tube that happened during the fabrication process and/or a minor paint issue (swirling, thickening). These issues would be hard to find if not pointed out (and very difficult to photograph so we don't have pics), but are marked as 'Imperfects'. You can also request the frame be used for a build at the same discount from the frame (in dollars).
Our Lightning frameset is our lightest option coming in at under 5 lbs. (55cm). It features Columbus Spirit tubing and a paint-matched carbon fork - light, responsive and sleek.
The current colors are Nitro Orange, a bright pearlized orange, and Crystal Grey, a dark pearlized grey.
