New Albion Privateer Road Touring Gravel Commuter Bike Rim Brake Frame Colonial Blue

This listing is for the frame only - fork not included.

There is an option in the drop down menu to add the matching fork for $79 or opt out of a fork.

Build the Privateer into a versatile "all rounder" road bike, a medium duty tourer, a flat bar commuter with full fenders, or even a gravel bike. Compatible with derailleurs, internal geared hubs or single speed MTB hubs.
