BLACK MOUNTAIN CYCLES ROAD Frame Set | A Timeless Chromoly Road Bike Masterpiece
A frame that reminds you of the true joy of road cycling, beyond just speed.
The BLACK MOUNTAIN CYCLES ROAD, which was sadly discontinued in 2020, has made a long-awaited comeback.
While preserving the beauty of a classic rim brake road bike, it features tire clearance for up to 700x35c and geometry focused on comfort. It's not only great for smoothly riding on paved roads but also versatile enough for long rides, touring, and even unpaved roads leading to gravel paths.
The frame is made from 4130 double-butted chromoly. The supple ride quality and stable handling are unique to BLACK MOUNTAIN CYCLES. The calm ride created by the low bottom bracket, long chainstays, and exquisite fork rake is often described as a "magic carpet ride."
For those who want to build a bike that will last for a long time, unaffected by trends. This frame set lets you experience the fun that is arguably the origin of road cycling.

💬 STAFF REVIEW
If it were me, I'd gather old road bike parts and build it up casually with CX tires.
I'd set aside expensive parts and conventional wisdom, but still tighten things up where it counts.
Riding along the irrigation ditches back home, the excitement of childhood would come rushing back.
It's not about being cutting-edge, but it's certainly not a step backward. It's a way to enjoy a "road" bike that resonates especially with adults. I'd recommend this bike to any bike geek.
