The Legend That Is Black Shuck

The Legend That Is Black Shuck frameset makes for a devilishly delicious road bike.

Developed for those Sunday morning club rides, fast solo centuries and occasional crit races. Its design philosophy is around giving the rider confidence and casting a spell of wanting to ride it over and over again. It accelerates, sprints, climbs, brakes and corners with composure and true feel. It may be a devil, but it certainly isn’t a handful to ride!

In fact, it rides super smooth, due to its lightweight steel frame, carbon fork and clearances for 28mm tyres. It’s center of gravity is designed to be as low as possible to give positive, confidence inspiring, handling. It achieves this with an extra oversize 42mm downtube and beefy power transferring chainstays. The sleek Columbus Spirit HSS 56/46mm tapered headtube transitions to a slender 25.4mm top tube, whilst the rear end utilises pencil thin Columbus SL dual taper seat stays to give both feel and whip. This recipe in combination with modern flat mount disc brakes, makes for a bike that ‘dances like the devil’ over the Suffolk tarmac.
