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. This is our dream hand-crafted USA-made gravel race / all-road bike. 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. One of our goals with the Earth Ship was to create a bike that looked as aesthetically pleasing as possible with high handlebars. 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 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 traditional head tube and seat tube angles keep everything quick and maneuverable. TUBING A mix of Reynolds 853 and Columbus Life for the top and downtube. The seat stays and seat tube are custom designs from Fairing and the tapered head tube and chainstays (also a proprietary design) are sourced from Nova Cycles. FRAME SPEC - Handbuilt in our Minneapolis workshop - Wilde Waypoint Carbon Fork - Includes copper, handcrafted, Jen Green headbadge - Clearance for 700 x 50c or 650b x 2.2" - Three bottle mounts - Top tube feedbag mounts - Fender mounts - Tapered head tube with external cup: EC34/44 - 68mm bottom bracket shell - Flat mount brake - Rear Thru Axle M12 X 1.5 - Derailleur Hanger: SRAM UDH - Seatpost: 27.2mm - Seat Collar: 30.0 - Cable Guides: Paragon Modular guides under the downtube, and full loop braze-ons on the stays (No Zip Ties) **Complete bike picture shown to give you an example of that this bike will look like built up.

This is our flagship, our opportunity to put all of our bicycle beliefs into practice to build the most outstanding bicycle we possibly can, costs and difficulty be damned. The best materials, the nicest finishes, the most talented fabricators, and our proven geometry. This is the absolute finest endurance frameset that money can buy, and we’ll put it up against anything out there. The Earth Ship is light, nimble, capable, versatile, and most importantly comfortable for very long days in the saddle. We believe it to be the very pinnacle of gravel bikes. To build this beauty we use the best (read most expensive) frame components and butted titanium tubing. The butted main tubes put the Ti Earth Ship on another level in terms of vibration damping and lightness. In a lifetime of riding bikes, we can confidently say that the Earth Ship is hands down the finest we’ve ever thrown a leg over. Every time you interact with it, it’ll blow you away. The standard feature set includes three bottle mounts, top tube bag mount, fender mounts, and clearance for 700 x 50c or 650b x 2.2 tires. The frame is built around the incredible Enve Adventure fork which has three-pack mounts on each leg and internal dynamo and brake routing. We will tailor the cable management to your specific setup whether that is AXS, Di2, 1X or 2X setup. GEOMETRY Gravel race geo with all-day comfort and bump absorption at the forefront.

*This is a pre-book. It's going to take about eight months to fill the order. We'll be placing it at the end of August, so with shipping we should be delivering the frames early next Summer. We hope to do sizes sizes S,M,L,XL,XXL - We have to order 15 of each size and are not going to order XXL without some prebook commitments. So tall folks, jump on it if you’re interested because this is the only chance. We plan to make 75 or so frames total.* The Spelljammer is one of those wish fulfillment bikes. We made it simply because it's a bike we all wanted in our stables and because we could. We took a bit of inspiration from Jeff's beloved classic canti Space Horse, the versatility of the iconic Cross Check, and current developments in gravel, to create our own interpretation of a classic randonneuring bike. What is a randonneuring bicycle? There are a number of nebulous definitions floating around the internet and here is our take, which was the guiding principle for this project: It is a long distance machine. Meant to cover ground efficiently over a variety of road surfaces while carrying enough supplies to support the effort in all weather types. Our interpretation is meant to be a modern take on the genre without being overly slavish to the historic form. Because of this it has some modern features like three pack mounts for choice in how you carry cargo, and a threadless headset, which we favor because of the ease of adjustment with just allen wrenches rather than having to carry a large headset wrench. We wanted it to be of heirloom quality so it's got smooth filed fillets, just like we build in our Minneapolis workshop, but at less than half the price because they're built by a specialty brazing shop in Taiwan. We've been riding them since last Fall, and we've really come to be impressed by them, and hope you will too. If it's a "modern take," why rim brakes? All of our production bikes are tested to the most stringent ISO standards for their category. In order to pass testing, a disc brake bike requires thicker (heavier) fork legs and chainstays than a rim brake bike. By utilizing rim brakes we are able to use lighter tubes for a more compliant and smoother ride. Plus, we already have several worthy disc brake bikes in our lineup, and we do love the classic aesthetics of a good rim brake bicycle. Why is this only a one-run bike? On the island of Taiwan there is literally only one person left in the trade who does the kind of delicate filing required for these large fillets to look good. They are getting up there in age and are semi-retired at this point. They've also gotten really into farming and are now only working around their harvest / planting schedule. They've agreed to do one last batch, which is why we have to make this happen now. And can't do it again. Why is it $1600 for a rim brake frameset? It's expensive because it's expensive to make. The amount of fine hand work involved in these things is ridiculous. In our own workshop, our frame builder, Brad, spends as much time filing fillets as he does in the actual frame construction. There's a reason big hand-filed fillets are a dying art form, because it's extremely labor intensive and thus expensive. If you see the value in it, cool. If you don't, no worries. In addition to the labor intensive nature of the frame construction, the fork adds considerable cost to the bike. To match the character of the frame, we didn't want to use any old off-the-shelf crown. Instead we contacted Pacenti and sought permission to use their gorgeous PBP fork crown. In our minds it's THE rando fork crown. The crowns aren't cheap, but they are ideal for this application. And heck, with with way things are going tariffs will probably make them even more expensive by the time they get here, but by pre-booking your price is locked in. What's so special about that dropout? That dropout is a direct result of this bike's lineage. The Space Horse canti-version has become a bit of a cult-icon. They are terrifically reasonable, great handling and smooth riding bikes. They're the bike that really launched All-City to a wider audience and were a huge milestone in Jeff's career in the bike industry. Our friend Anna Schwinn designed this dropout when they both worked at All-City together, and we've always felt it was an inspired design. It keeps all the good things about a semi-horizontal dropout: single speed capability, the ability to adjust wheelbase length, compatibility with fenders, etc, but adds a little nubbin at the front that allows it to function more like a vertical dropout when running with a QR. That nubbin perfectly orients the hanger with the axle, and you won't pull the wheel out when using lightweight axles and skewers when you're putting down the power.
