AT the heart of the luxurious BLK J.ACK lays our highly acclaimed J.ACK frameset. The hand crafted four season all road 3Al-2.5 titanium frame features a double butted front triangle, tapered head tube, internal cable routing, choice of bottom bracket, curvaceous chain stays and Gryphon head badge.

The larger bottom bracket shell increases the frame stiffness in this vital area as well as allowing for larger 30mm diameter aluminium crank spindles that are stiffer and lighter than their 24mm counterparts. Available in either press fit or threaded.
Both gear and the rear brake cables are routed through the frame. Aside from being aesthetically more pleasing, routing cables internally protects them from dirt ensuring smooth shifting and braking for longer.
A wider head tube where the fork meets the frame increases the stiffness in that area, reducing flex and improving steering precision.
The rear disc brake is mount is positioned on the chain stay, using the structural strength of the frame (the triangle that is made up of the seat stay, chain stay and seat post) to offer optimum braking performance. Available as post mount or flat mount.

THE METAL WITH METTLE!
Titanium offers a great balance of properties that make it the perfect material for bicycle frames. It’s lightweight, durable and can withstand a lifetime of use whilst remaining corrosion free.
Large tube diameters allow titanium to be stiff where needed, yet the metal is naturally very good at delivering a smoother ride, especially over rough sections of road, so it’s perfect for long days in the saddle.
We use 3Al-2.5V titanium to build our frames, following the aerospace industry lead of adding 3% aluminium and 2.5% vanadium to the titanium to create the optimum performing material.
Aside from the material and ride benefits we just love the way titanium looks. J.Laverack frames aim to forge form and function to bring an unrivalled quality of ride and style to those that want more from their frame.
