My Saffron Frame Works "All Road" bike. 

Matthew designed this frame for the type of riding I do nowadays. It has road biased Geometry but can accept 35mm wide tires which gives it a bit of "gravel" capability. It's really just more about the comfort than all out performance. Frame is built using a custom Columbus XCR Stainless Steel tube set.

The workmanship and finish is exceptional, as one would expect from Saffron.

 

 

 

A Thing of Beauty!
And Matthew is a Saffa (and a Hubber)!

Thats correct. First time is saw his work is when he built Dan Craven a bike for Commonwealth game (I think it was). Have followed his work since then.

I decided to add some gears and bling. Because the frame was never meant to have gear cables I decided to go with a Sram AXS groupset, light weight wheels with Hope Hubs, Carbon one piece bar and seat post, Magura Brakes and to finish it off titanium bolts all-round.

Ah, I kinda miss my old On-One Inbred.
I had the same frame - sold the bike back in 2015 or 2016.

What does yours weigh in at as-built?

Watch those Crest Mk3 rims - almost every single one ends up with cracks at the spoke holes.

I havent weighed it yet, but I'm itching to find out.

I am worried about those Crest wheels but for now they are ok. I took them around to Stoked Suspension Works for tubeless tape and they recommended changing the spokes. I would like to get a set of carbon wheels in the future but ive got a Track Bike next on the list. I love the wheels you build up.

This looks sick. Just needs drop bars now…
