ICE Optimised Frame
Overview
The frame is the heart of any bike, dealing with the irregularities of the road surface, handling external forces and the pedalling forces exerted by the rider. A well designed and constructed frame is key to providing a great riding experience.
The ICE optimised frame is constructed from a 4130 Chromoly heat treated main section with a 7005 T6 series heat treated aluminium boom and rear end. This provides a stiff platform for efficient power transfer whilst providing a comfortable ride which minimises rider fatigue on longer trips. The frame is fitted with cable guides and braze ons to ensure tidy cable routing and enable riders to attach racks and other accessories.
At ICE we take great pride in the detail finish of our product, many items of the frame are CNC machined to reduce weight and deliver a product which is truly exceptional.
In Cornwall, England, where we live and ride, the terrain is hilly. We have miles of quiet twisting lanes; consequently we have developed steering geometry that gives our bikes amazing handling at any speed. In these challenging conditions we also need to be able to climb with ease and stop without fuss so our bikes have an excellent and come with Avid BB7 disc brakes as standard.
