Wabi Special Frameset

Our lugged frame features a timeless aesthetic that can lean more retro or more modern, depending on how you design it.

The frame is hand-built from seamless, heat-treated, double-butted Reynolds 725 chromoly steel main tubes and forged track-style rear drops. There are braze-ons for two bottle cages on the down and seat tubes. It also features beautiful hand-brazed lugged construction. 

The fork features hand-brazed tapered chromoly steel with an investment cast crown, 1 1/8" steerer, and forged fork ends. It includes a Tange Seiki Technoglide headset with cartridge-type bearings. Choose your headset color from the dropdown menu.

The current colors are Iron Wine, a metallic plum, and Platinum White, a pearlized white. There is limited stock on past colors, such as Sapphire Blue, a metallic blue, and Titanium Gray, a titanium-hued silver. Custom colors are also an option. See more info here.

SIZING

We highly recommend reviewing our sizing page before purchasing. Look at both your height and your actual inseam / standover height. The guide below can also provide some general guidelines.

Frame size is measured center-to-center of the seat tube. See more on our sizing page.

COMPONENT SIZING

Note that our frames are designed around a 170mm crank arm length, a 24mm setback seatpost and varying stem lengths (based on frame size and height). You can find our stem length recommendations under the 'DETERMINING BIKE COMPONENTS FIT' section on the sizing page. If you choose different components, it may impact the fit.

IMPORTANT NOTE ON COMPATIBILITY

We cannot guarantee the fit of any specific component set other than the ones we sell with our complete bikes. If you are planning a specific build please contact us to see if we are aware of any issues. Even so, we will be unable to offer refunds based on lack of fit with any third-party components.
