LANDRACE Tupelo
All roads, all weathers
Designed to be comfortable
The Landrace Tupelo frame developed from the extensive bikefitting and custom frame expertise of Cyclefit founders Phil Cavell and Julian Wall.
They wanted a bike for their customers they could build to fit perfectly after their Cyclefits and without compromise and offer a stable, confidence inspiring ride.
The Tupelo is designed to be comfortable, using butted titanium tubing for a smooth ride and a geometry that puts the rider in an efficient and comfortable position with the handlebars in easy reach.
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 any other frame on the market.
Stable handling
Beyond everything 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.
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 means your hips are more open for better pedalling and you are more balanced on the bike.
The Tupelo features practical touches such as multiple bottle cage mounts, mudguard eyelets.
There are two Tupelo models:
The Classic with external cable routing at £2,495.00 for frame and forks and the new integrated Tupelo V2 that has extra butted tubes and the option of internally routed cables at £2,895.00.

Tupelo Frame Details
Tupelo Rear Triangle
The Intersection of Power, Comfort & Control! Tupelo has been designed to shrug-off all year round big miles and always scrub-up like new. 32mm tyres and mudguards in the winter and up to 38mm for three-season adventures. 3AL-2.5V seat and chainstays are meticulously engineered so your back wheel drops in and out with ease. They are also comfortable, indestructible and minimally stunning.
Precise stacked-coin welds
Titanium is a famously recalcitrant material to work with. We work with the finest fabricator in Asia, who are reassuringly titanium specialists. Their precision craftsmanship is epitomised by their reliably beautiful ‘stacked-coin’ welds. They also make our minimal Cyclefit x-ray seat-clamps.
Tubing
The downtube is effectively the engine-room of a bicycle frame. Tupelo’s toptube is subtly dramatic, ever-changing along its length and architecturally stunning. A lot of engineering packing in one highly significant tube.
