Big and Tall Bicycle

The Team is our performance powerhouse Big and Tall Bicycle. An all around gravel road bike with electronic shifting, hydraulic disc brakes, components, Zinn Duro Carbon Fork and handbuilt bombproof wheels. This bike is made for gravel racing, commuting to work, touring across the country, fitness riding, and even racing road or cyclocross. Electronic shifting is an amazing feature to make this bike the ultimate big and tall bicycle. The ease of shifting is mind-blowing, and you will almost never need to adjust the derailleurs. Smart shifters are programmable via your smartphone to customize the way you shift. Hydraulic disc brakes provide greater power and control for heavy riders for steep mountain passes and long descents.

The Team comes in set frame sizes, from Medium to 4XL, to fit riders from 5’9″ to 7’2″, and we customize the components on the bike for you. We will adjust crank length, handlebars, stem, saddle, and wheels based on your measurements and weight. Please submit your measurements and we can help figure out which bike is right for you and how to customize it for the perfect fit.

At Clydesdale Bikes, we’re constantly looking for innovative ways to bring you custom builds that are lighter weight than anything else on the market. One of our go-to materials, titanium, is a top choice. It’s half the weight of steel so we can build bigger frames with larger tubing and still guarantee your bike will be lighter than anything else. We prefer larger diameter tubing for our bikes because you get a comfortable and compliant ride that still provides great stiffness for ideal power transfer to ensure you’re not working too hard over long rides.

Titanium also has plenty of other benefits, like fatigue resistance and strength for smaller tubing, better absorption of road buzz and bumps on gravel, and it’s completely impervious to corrosion. Our frames come with a shiny brushed raw titanium finish, and can also be painted to customize our bikes even more.

When compared with other materials, like steel or aluminum, titanium always comes out on top. It can flex further than both without permanent damage and withstand intense riding. Many other materials, like carbon fiber, are vulnerable to serious damage, like notch damage, which can cause catastrophic failure in a bike frame. Titanium however, could literally last you a lifetime – if not longer!
