gravel bike uk Earth Ship - Gravel Race Large / CompleteThe Earth Ship exists to be the lightest, fastest, and most comfortable gravel bike on the market. It is the epitome of what we believe a modern drop bar bike can and should be. Handbuilt in our Minneapolis workshop, it is light, nimble, capable, and most importantly comfortable for very long days in the saddle. As weve gotten less self conscious and more independent minded weve come to embrace taller stack heights as the future of endurance riding.

The Earth Ship exists to be the lightest, fastest, and most comfortable gravel bike on the market. It is the epitome of what we believe a modern drop bar bike can and should be. 
Handbuilt in our Minneapolis workshop, it is light, nimble, capable, and most importantly comfortable for very long days in the saddle. As we’ve gotten less self-conscious and more independent-minded we’ve come to embrace taller stack heights as the future of endurance riding. When it comes to big days, we believe that “comfortable is fast!”

You’ll find a full suite of features that include:

• Three bottle mounts, top tube bag mount, and fender mounts.
• The frame is built around our own Waypoint fork which has three-pack mounts on each leg and internal dynamo and brake routing.
• For cable management, we’ve chosen to use Paragon’s modular system which allows the cleanest possible appearance and can be customized for AXS, 1X or a traditional two derailleur setup. We use full-round cable guides on the stays as we find plastic zip ties on high-end bikes to be an inelegant compromise.
• Clearance for 700 X 50c or 650b X 2.2" tires 

*Currently all Earth Ships are being made to order with your choice of stock or custom geometry, your choice of features and frame options, and stock or custom paint. 

GEOMETRY
Gravel race geo with all-day comfort and bump absorption at the forefront. The tall stack, a slightly lowered bottom bracket, and generous stays yield an unbelievably smooth ride and inspire confidence when descending fast over loose terrain. Fairly aggressive head tube angles keep everything quick and maneuverable. 

Chosen specifically for lightweight and vibration damping, each piece of tubing on every size is carefully selected to be as comfortable and light as possible. Columbus Life for the main triangle with Columbus Zona stays.  The dropouts, bottom bracket, braze-ons, and tapered headtube are from Paragon Machine Works.
