We’ve buit the frame with your local competition in mind, a forgiving race geometry gives you an extra advantage.
It’s not a pure crit racer, but also not endurance specific frame, yet it handles both very well. Race it one day, go out on an all-day adventure the next!

The frame is made of 7005 aluminium. To get this material to it’s optimal use, it needs some work.
Aluminium is a fairly soft material. This is a good thing, if the whole frame is. Welding messes this up, because of the extreme heat of the process. Warming the frame op to 450-500 degrees Celsius (T4 Treatment). Letting it cool and heat up again to about 160 degrees for a longer period of time (T6 treatment). This gives the frame superior wear resistance and hardness, to last a lifetime!

To have access to a wide range of options on how to build your favorite bicycle, we’ve chosen for the T47 threaded BB standard.

The thread makes sure you are able to disassemble, maintain, replace or assemble your bottom bracket, without having to worry about slowly wearing out your frame. It als reduces the risk of a creaking BB to about 0.

We have opted for the 86,5mm wide bracket shell. This way, the bearings run inside the shell, giving both the bearings and the frame itself the most width and stiffness in this all important area for power transfer.

Every Raamwerk comes with an integrated seat post (ISP) and seat mast. Looks cool, right?

Some are scared to cut it off, but don’t worry! The included seat mast gives you multiple centimeters of height adjustment.

Don’t like the ISP, or prefer your good old seatpost? No worries! We can cut the integrated post of entirely, and mount a standard 27,2mm seatpost, with a ‘normal’ seatpost clamp. How about that?

Meaning; your frame is future proof, all parts used can be sourced with us or elsewhere, your local bike shop might have them on stock.

We use as many common standards as we can. Some parts ar e specific to our frame, but all parts that would logically show signs of wear, are widely available.

That should make your frame last a long time!

Say what? ISO is the International Organization for Standardization. They have made a standard, describing what a realistic amount of wear is for different sort of bicycles, in the 4210 standard.

They also describe how to test this, and our frames have passed the tests with flying colors.

This, together with computer model strength testing (FEM) in the design phase of the frame, gives us all the confidence in saying that the frame won’t crack or break, if you use it the way a roadbike is meant to.
