Now being a stockist of the rather lovley gravel and road brand VIELO, we thought we would take an opportunity to share some of the interesting features of their bikes. The brand specialises in 1x bikes, both for road and gravel. This gives them a unique frame design oppotunity around the bottom bracket shell. Here is what Vielo say about the design:

“Without a second chainring the tube transitions to the BB are no longer compromised. Now symmetrical the bottom bracket is perfectly balanced with the downtube and chainstay contributing to 30% greater lateral stiffness.”

V+1 Gravel bikes are availble now. Have a look on our website here or get in touch if you have any questions!
