Quiver Road Frameset - Retired
-
*The original Quiver has been retired now that we've launched our new Quiver models. The new Quiver 2016 Quiver Disc and Quiver Canti are in stock and available to order now.
What's in your Quiver? This question is typically asked to the rider that has a bike for every mood. Fixed, geared, commuter, road, MTB, fat bike... While the idea of owning a bike for every day of the week sounds great, it costs a TON of money to buy and maintain that many bikes.
When we sat down to develop our first commuter and road frame we wanted to build an ultra versatile platform that could meet the needs of many different urban riders and ideally, could be modified over time based on your individual preferences or even seasonally. With that in mind, we put together a list of the things that we'd love to see in such a versatile frame and went to work on designing what we eventually called, the Quiver.
The Quiver frame is an ultra flexible steel road and commuter platform that looks just as at home on a country gravel road as it does commuting through town. What makes the Quiver unique is that we designed it with horizontal dropouts, removable derailleur hanger and removable cable stops and 132.5 rear spacing. This means that the Quiver looks just as good built up as an ultra clean single speed as it does as a 2x10 steel road bike. Whether you are looking for a single speed, internally geared or prefer to run a cassette, the Quiver has you covered.
Being based here in Milwaukee we've had plenty of experience riding in an urban environment with road conditions that seem to change moods daily. With that in mind, we built the Quiver so that it could fit up to a 47c tire giving it plenty of room for wide commuter tires, studded winter tires or even knobby cyclocross tires. Winter has a way of wreaking havoc on steel frames which is why we also added an ED coat on the inside and outside of the frame which acts as a rust inhibitor for those salty midwest roads. Finally, by using 132.5mm rear spacing the Quiver is capable of using any rear hub with spacing between 130mm and 135mm making it compatible with anything from an internal 8 speed to a wider bike cassette.
The Quiver is a great frameset for building up a bike that truly suits your individual needs. Made out of straight gauge 4130 chromoly steel and priced at only $299.00 for frame and fork, the Quiver is durable, reliable and most importantly affordable!

Q: The Quiver has horizontal dropouts, but can it fit a derailuer?
A: Yes, we designed a slide in hanger to mount a derailuer to the rear of the frame. The Quiver also has cable guides for both front and rear derailuers. You can build it up as a single speed, with internal gear hub, as a 1x or 2x.
Q: Are the cable stops removeable on the Quiver?
A: Yes. All the cable stops are removeable using a hex wrench. You can run the frame as a single speed and remove all the derailuer cable stops for a clean look.
Q: What does the Quiver frameset weigh?
A: The Quiver frameset weighs a combined 7lbs. If you're looking to use a different fork the frame is 5lbs and the fork is 2lbs. -
