Velo Orange Piolet Frameset
The Velo Orange Piolet is a versatile steel frame and fork combo, ideal for bikepacking, off road rambling, and even some loaded touring. With solid construction, the Piolet handles similarly to a XC mountain bike, but slightly more in the touring direction. Feels natural with drop bars or flat bars. Non-suspension corrected fork handles predictably with or without a load! Run with full fenders for an all weather / everyroad set up and let the adventures begin. Complete your build with more modern components for a sportier machine, or stick with the classics for a more traditional look and feel. No matter how you proceed, the Piolet blurs the lines and is checks many boxes.
