The VO Chessie frameset is now available for presale! 🐍 After nearly three years of testing, refining, and getting way too dirty on backroads, we’re proud to introduce the Chessie — our first-ever aluminum alloy frameset. Designed to blur the line between gravel and trail, it’s light, fast, stable, and ready for big days out. With generous tire clearance (up to 700x50mm or 650x2.25” tires on Medium and larger sizes and 650bx2.1” or 26x2.25” on Small and XS sizes), tons of mounts, a steel fork for dialed ride feel, and geometry that keeps you comfy and in control, Chessie is the kind of bike that makes you take the long way home… or just get a little lost on purpose. We’ve also put together a Monster Guide with all the nerdy details: tubing selection, fit philosophy, design choices, and how this thing came to life. Want to know why the smallest sizes don’t ride like a compromise? Or what kind of riding we had in mind when we drew it up? We go deep.
