Product Description

The Flint 28" Gravel Frameset from bc original: the All-Rounder<\/h2>
If you are looking for a versatile, reliable frame with generous tyre clearance for your gravel bike, the bc original Flint is the perfect companion. The frame's design is classic and minimalist, but incorporates current developments in gravel biking. A 70° head tube angle helps make difficult descents more manageable. In addition, toe-overlap, i.e. contact between the tip of the foot and the front wheel when turning, no longer occurs even with thick tyres and mudguards. Thanks to a BB drop of 55 mm, unpleasant pedal contact on blocked, rooted terrain is avoided. When combined with wide profiled tyres, the bike is able to maintain a high level of liveliness - in other words, the Flint is a real wild ride!

Speaking of wide tyres: unlike the first generation of gravel bikes, which stopped at just 40 mm of tyre width, this frameset can handle 28" tyres up to 45 mm in width. This means that both short and long distances can be covered comfortably even across coarse gravel, especially since the high-quality aluminium chassis gives you a combination of direct propulsion with a lot of fun. You can even set the Flint up as a commuter bike thanks to the fender and luggage rack mounts. Cane Creek headset, BSA bottom bracket, external cables and wires and the seat clamp with integrated dust cover make this frameset a reliable and easy-to-maintain companion. By the way, the name "Flint" is an allusion to the flint that used to be mined from the Lousberg, a small mountain in Aachen, Germany.

    bc Original FLINT is an all-road and gravel frameset, built with rock solid aluminium tubing and heart toching all-stout carbon-fibre (thanks to Bombtrack Bikes) fork. It is a little bit of heavy more than other brand's gravel or same diciplines frames, to Large size it comes 1940gr, but also ride quality and feel smooth and brilliant ease hangling. I built it up with Shimano Ultegra R8020 STI levers & R8070 brakes, GRX FD-RX810 front, RD-RX812 rear derailleur, SLX M7100-11 cassette 11-42t, FC-RX600-11 crank arms but I removed inner chainring and replaced 31t, SM-RT81 160mm rotors, custom build wheelset (DT Swiss R460db rums, Kinesis Crosslight hubs, Sapim Leader spokes) Specialized handelber, stem, seat post and saddle (Power and Cobl-Gobl-R)... It has a wonderfully classics aesthetic (for black one) well-placed rack and fender mounts, higher headtube and angle, slope toptube, and lower seattube... FANTASTIC! Many thanks Bike-Components!

    Arrived in 4 days, this frame has a perfect finish in all details, welds are very well made and smooth. I still need to assemble the various components so I cannot judge on the frame dynamics. The paint looks thick and sturdy. Happy with this purchase

    Very good quality and well made frame I really like the details.
    External cable routing is nicely executed with the fixing points and the hardware it's perfect for this type of bike. The chain stay protector and the rubber seal on the seat clamp are a nice touch too I am very satisfied with the whole frame set. Good job BC!
