What the Enginerds put forth is Preamble, a pavement and gravel utility worker that proves you don’t need to cut corners or clip coupons to make a more affordable steel bike.

Description
The Grand Randonneur is a road frame optimized to carry a front load. We have equipped it with rear rack mounts, but it feels best with a front load only. The version 3 of the "Grando" makes quite a few updates.
• The geometry is still low trail in the front, but we have tried to make the handling slightly more stable than version 1 and 2.
• We have tweaked the tubing mix to add stiffness at the bottom bracket, while keeping this frame our lightest model.
• We have modernized parts of it: Adding IS disc mounts and thru-axle hubs compatibility. And of course everyone wants just slightly more tire clearance.
• With its skinny steel tubes and 1" threaded lugged crown fork it still has the vintage road bike look.
• Tange Prestige CrMo tubes, double-butted
• Threaded 1" lugged crown fork is equipped with low rider pannier bosses, mini rack eyelets and double eyelets at the dropouts. Thru-axle hub compatible. IS disc mounts
• Designed for 650b wheels
• Max. tire fit: 650 x 47mm semi-knob tire
(Max. fender width: 50mm)
• Modular rear dropouts: Stock set up is for 142mm x 12mm thru-axle with IS disc mounts.
• Rear rack and fender eyelets
• Pump peg at headtube
• 3 sets of water bosses
• Headset type: 1" ISO Threaded external cups(EC30/25.4|EC30/26) (Needle/Roller bearings recommended)
• Seatpost fit: 27.2mm
• Weight: Frame: 4.25 lbs Fork: 2.35 lbsPOA -
Description
The original inspiration for the Wolverine was “monster cross”, but it is seriously so much more. Its geometry is stable enough for off road touring, but sporty enough for all-around adventure.
The primary differences between the version 3.0 Wolverine and the v. 4 Type-A and B is an extra set of water bottle bosses, and additional stack height on most sizes.
The Type-A ALSO adopts more modern standards such as 142mm rear thru-axle and a 44mm headtube that will fit 1-1/8 straight steerer or tapered steerer with the proper headset type. NO frame break for Belt-Drive. (See chart for other differences between A and B)
- Tange Prestige heat-treated CrMo front triangle; butted CrMo rear end
- Clearance for 700x45c tires w/ fenders
- Rear hub spacing/type: 142 x12mm Thru-Axle

No lugged crown fork offered for the Type-B
