LANDRACE Tupelo V2
All roads, all weathers
Designed to be comfortable
The Landrace Tupelo V2 frame developed from the extensive bike fitting and custom frame expertise of Cyclefit founders Philip Cavell and Julian Wall.
They wanted a bike for that they could build to perfectly fit their clients after after a Cyclefit appointment, and without compromise.
The Tupelo is designed to be comfortable. The main triangle utilises butted and swaged 3aL 2V titanium tubing for a supple ride but with enough lateral stiffness for power transfer and stability.
Phil and Jules' combined experience designing frames with the world's finest frame builders such as Colnago, Passoni, Seven Cycles, No22, Serotta, et al. has enabled them to produce one of the best rding bikes on the planet.
Sensible stack & reach
A comfortable rider is an efficient rider. The Landrace geometry will put your handlebars in just the right place so you can ride all day. The frame is shorter and higher than many bikes on the market.
Stable but fun
Beyond everything the Tupelo is designed to look after you. Even when you have strayed somewhere you shouldn't. Responsive enough to be fun, stable enough to inspire confidence.
Low bottom bracket
Hands the pilot a huge dose of poise and bike handling confidence they have never felt before. Fast and technical descents are taken with ease. Your centre of gravity is lowered between the wheel axles.
Tyre clearance
The Tupelo is at home on the road or on light gravel, the frame and fork are optimized for 28mm plus road tyres and up to 38mm gravel tyres.
Short chainstays
Long enough for a 38mm gravel tyre, or a 32mm road tyre with mudguards; short enough to provide great power transfer out the saddle and quick out of the corners.
Seat Angle
Steeper than many bikes on the market, it helps position your 'centre of mass' over the bottom bracket for a balanced ride. It also helps to keep your hips more open for better pedalling and glute engagement.
All Season Riding
The Tupelo frame is designed so that you can ride all year; with fittings for full mudguards with clearance for tyres up to up to 32mm wide.

Tupelo V2
The Tupelo V2 geometry is designed to give you a comfortable ride but not at the expense of a responsive handling bike. We have probably designed more bikes than most of the 'designers' working for the big bike brands.
Tupelo Frame Details
Universal Derailleur Hanger - UDH
Why did we spec a Universal Derailleur Hanger on our Tupelo and Boxer frames? In an effort to try and keep cycling design and component variables as simple as possible the UDH is being adopted by many bike brands; it means we can install all makes of rear derailleur using the alloy drop-out or directly mounting the rear mech like the SRAM Force AXS XPLR. And getting a replacement is much easier than it used to be!
Oversize Headtube
The new headtube standard on the Landrace frames is 44mm. The wider diameter headtube accommodates the brake hoses so they can run internally through frame and in to the front fork.
It also provides a larger contact area to weld the thw top tube and down tube, strengthening the front of the frame.
We use the FSA No.13 headset and Chris King Aeroset 3 EC44/EC44 headsets. Both headsets work with a with a 44mm straight headtube and a fork with a 1-1/8” to 1.5” tapered steerer tube.
The polished titanium headtube badge adds a nice finish.
The Bottom Bracket
The bottom bracket on joins the downtube, seat tube and chainstays together. All the power you generate through the pedals is channelled through the bottom bracket shell and out in to the frame. Using a T47 bottom bracket means there is a larger welding area and makes for a stiffer BB to deliver the energy out in to back wheel. The shell is threaded for a solid and precise fit for the bottom bracket and keeps it square and stable, no creaking like on those old pressfit carbon bikes.
