Palace frameset – £650
They don’t get any fresher that this! Straight from the factory and into stock the Bowman Palace is a beautifully executed, race ready alloy frameset. Built from the latest generation of formed aluminium tubing, the Palace offers weight that beats all but the highest calibre carbon fibre at a mere 1200grams for a 56cm frame – and in a far more robust package, better suited to the rough and tumble of amateur racing.
An oversized front triangle, and tapered steerer make for a bike that rails the tightest of turns yet thin walls and our custom tubing profiles means the Palace won’t rattle your fillings like aluminium frames of old. Topped off with a standard 27.2mm seatpost, this is an exceptionally pleasant place to spend many an hour alone in the lanes once any number has been unpinned.
At the end of the ride, home mechanic friendly external cable routing makes everyday maintenance a breeze and the tough anodised finish will keep up appearances long after the competitions paint chips.
Full builds start at £1150 for Shimano Sora, Reynolds wheels & XLC finishing kit or email us your dream spec and we’ll bounce back some prices.
