It’s a Nova Double Butted 8/5/8 tube set.

My only bike purchase of 2024 (most likely). Replacing my 30 lb steel tourer with cantilever brakes and 3x9 drivetrain. Put more than enough commuting miles on that bike to justify replacing it. This new bike can do some gravel duty, commute and be my trainer bike instead of just commute. Wasn't planning on it but $1100 was too good to pass up.

You have to run a bottle under the top tube.

It's vain but the kinked top tube really is quite ugly.

Not $1160 ugly
Before you buy. RAAW Jibb and Madonna are on sale. Frame sets and rolling chassis.

I’m certainly not in the market for a bike, but I really dig what RAAW is doing.
I told myself the same thing. 😂

Actually, the new frame has even lower stand off…not on the market, I rarely ride what I have already…just had an impulse to buy when I san the new version came out.

Price seems to be on the same ball park as Knolly, maybe a little more. Knolly suspension is really good though, and this newer version is supposed to be improved so I would stick with Knolly. If I were to buy. Which I am not. Or am I…

How wide of a tire do you think can fit in the back of the caad?

Maybe a 30 if the hub is adjusted back. The fork only takes a 28 though so that’s what I run.
