£££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££’s

His next Mason project bike is an adventure type frame set…….Hmmmmmmm – that’l be interesting.

I’m all over this on Twitter, website should be live soon, and Morvelo kit also coming. I’ve put the Tripster on hold.

Looks lovely. Is it already disc?

How many ££ exactly Rorchach?

Have prices been announced then? I’m hoping they’re not toofar removed from Kinesis prices, but with Italian manufacture that may be a vain hope….

Not seen any prices, but it’ll be worth it for the head badge alone 😉

I would say you’re dreaming.
The tagline is “Small batch quality, craftsmanship and detailing”
So I would assume £1200 for frame and forks

looked nice until you get to the ugly chainstays, which ruin it completely

Looking classy

I do really like it. Can’t afford though.

Yeah they are very nice indeed, loads of clearance for sensible tyres and guards as well. neat internal routing options so he has really thought about the build of them – all it needs is internal routing on the right hand fork leg to run dynamo wiring through it to the fork crown and it’d be perfect.

Shame i can’t ride a road bike due to the drop bar position otherwise i’d be ordering the resolution/columbus steel version first thing tomorrow, the cost wouldn’t be an issue for me in the slightest.

This! Needs a hole at the fork crown too.

Edit – Oooooooh or that new integrated wiring thingy that one of the Dynamo hub brands does!

First ride report over at road.cc. Quite fancy a spin on that.

“Columbus steel frame/Mason carbon monocoque fork/Mason clamp/Deda h.set/Marine grade bolt set and all MultiPort parts will be around £1499. Dedacciai aluminium frame with all above will be around £850.”

From the horses mouth over on bikerumour.com, not sure if it’s legit though.
Bloody lovely frames but £££££££ 🙁

Aluminium is not a bad price.
Direct comparison to a Kinesis 4S which is £550 and isn’t yet disk. I assume that’s going to go up for the disk version.
Made in Europe in small quantities vs made in far east in large quantities.

Steel must take longer to make, tubing cost more and working the multiport stuff in more complicated for the build.

i thought the new gran fondo and the new 4s were disc ready ????
still … drooling over the columbus tubed mason – yum 🙂

The paint and decal design on the Masons is so much nicer than Kinesis though, plus those Hunt wheels look gorgeous.

They are but the prices on the website are for the rim brake bike.
I’d assume the cost will rise a small amount for disk as more work and a new fork.

Prices, specs and pre-order available now via newsletter.

PRICING.
Framesets: The Resolution Columbus steel frame/Mason monocoque carbon fork/Mason seat collar/Deda h.set/MultiPort cable stop set/marine grade SS bolt set will be £1459srp.
The Definition Dedacciai frameset inc. above parts, will be £895srp.

Doesn’t sound outrageous to me. More than Kinesis, less than hand-built frames. Obviously a lot of money is in the appearance, but then what’s what attracted me in the first place 🙂

I’ll be keeping an eye on the CX/gravel bikes anyway.
