Product Overview
Please note this is a special order Frameset and we don't keep stock. It often takes 5-10 days (Hopefully less) for delivery - If you're interested please email, call or just order online..
In VO we trust! We love this frame and this colour-way is super neat! So we're offering a free Velo Orange Grand Cru headset in Silver, Black or Mirrored finish with every Rando frame. And if you would like us to fit it, just let us know and it's free!
The Piolet is our bikepacking and rough-road riding frame. It's designed for off-road touring, including dirt and gravel roads, double track, and single track. We built it to be sturdy, simple, and very capable. As with our other frames it's double butted chromoly steel. The fork is triple butted for reduced weight and extra strength.
The seatstays come together in a cool mono-stay wishbone and compliment the segmented fork. The frameset is covered in bosses for easily mounting any racks, water-bottles, gear cages, and even fenders. It's happily set up in bikepacking fashion or as a traditional rack and bag tourer!
The Piolet handles similarly to a XC mountain bike, but slightly more in the touring direction. Feels natural with drop bars or flat bars. Non-suspension corrected fork handles predictably with or without a load!
