The Skyelander 700c is a British made touring bike hand built by one of England’s top framebuilders, Lee Cooper.
The lugged frame is built using air hardened Reynolds 631 for the main frame. The stays are Reynolds 631 & 725. The forks are Reynolds 631. An upgrade to Reynolds 853 main frame and forks is an option. We use lugs to give the frame optimal strength.
You have a choice of a a threadless steerer (1 1 /8") for an ahead stem or threaded steerer (1") for a quill stem.
It's designed with clearance for 35mm tyres with mudguards.
The frame's relatively long chainstays (450mm or 455mm) and steel frame make this the ideal companion on a long distance loaded road trip, both strong and comfortable.
The Skyelander comes equipped with Shimano XT 10 speed triple chainset (26/36/48T) and XT front and rear derailleurs, Deore hubs, and Microshift thumbshifters (10 speed).
The bike is fitted with the excellent Shimano Deore V-brakes coupled with Deore V-brake levers.
The wheels are handbuilt using Ryde Sputnik 700c rims on Deore hubs, with Marathon Mondial Performance 35c tyres and Schwalbe inner tubes. Other rim choices are available as an upgrade.
The grips are Ergon GP5 biokork. The saddle is the Brooks B17 leather or the Brooks C17 all-weather.
