"Using their signature 3D-printed titanium frame sections as the standard model, the new J Laverack GRIT 57 layers the metal to fit monstrous 57mm wide tires, equivalent to 29×2.25″. The bike shown here is a custom build of the AM64 UDH frame for a customer that wanted bigger tires, and it's fitted with Continental RaceKing 29×2.2 tires. Full build list below, along with a big gallery of photos. But first, here's a video overview of this build..."
"Technically, and despite the model naming here, the GRiT fits 700x58mm tires...important if you're nitpicking about the difference between 2.24″ and 2.25″. Or 650Bx50mm if you prefer the smaller wheels. The bottom bracket and headtube are their "Streamline" design, which adds circumference around the functional bits to better hide cables, hoses, and wires. And the bottom of the headtube is widened to aesthetically match modern forks."
The J Laverack GRiT 57 employs 3D-printed AM64 titanium frame sections to create a gravel bike able to fit 57mm-wide tires (equivalent to 700x58mm or 29×2.25″; also compatible with 650Bx50mm). The shown example is a custom AM64 UDH build fitted with Continental RaceKing 29×2.2 tires. The frame uses a Streamline bottom bracket and headtube to increase circumference for concealing cables, hoses, and wires, and features a widened headtube base to match modern forks. Frames are built to order with custom geometry and options like top-tube boss mounts, multiple BB standards, rack and fender mounts. Framesets start at £3,650; complete bikes from £5,795.
