For some riders, custom is the best option. Sizing limitations can be overcome, future fit considerations can be incorporated and specific component preferences can be implemented. In the case of our most recent Mosaic GT-1 iAR, sizing was at the heart of the design. Simply put, a stock geometry wouldn’t work. Next was tailoring the bike to match the rider’s intended use - a bike specific for shoulder season riding that’s trail capable and road bike-like in performance. The AR platform from Mosaic with its 38mm max tire clearance matches this request perfectly. Drivetrain selection mimics the rider’s road bike with a 2x chainring configuration, road sized rings and a road width crankset. Perfect for a seamless switch from road bike to gravel bike. The paint choice had a slight “send it” approach and turns out to be an exceptional choice. The Matte, Pearl Mustard is both subtle and wild in equal measure. The Chris King components check list is long with Aeroset 3 headset, seat post collar, ceramic TF24 bottom bracket and GRD23 wheel set, all in matte black, to both match and contrast the frame color. #velosmithbuilds #mosaiccycles #chriskingbuzz
