best steel gravel bike frames Earth Ship - Gravel Race Large / CompleteThe Earth Ship exists to be the lightest, fastest, and most comfortable gravel bike on the market. It is the epitome of what we believe a modern drop bar bike can and should be. Handbuilt in our Minneapolis workshop, it is light, nimble, capable, and most importantly comfortable for very long days in the saddle. As weve gotten less self conscious and more independent minded weve come to embrace taller stack heights as the future of endurance riding.

The Earth Ship exists to be the lightest, fastest, and most comfortable gravel bike on the market. It is the epitome of what we believe a modern drop bar bike can and should be. 
Handbuilt in our Minneapolis workshop, it is light, nimble, capable, and most importantly comfortable for very long days in the saddle. As we’ve gotten less self-conscious and more independent-minded we’ve come to embrace taller stack heights as the future of endurance riding. When it comes to big days, we believe that “comfortable is fast!”

You’ll find a full suite of features that include:

  • Three bottle mounts, top tube bag mount, and fender mounts.
  • The frame is built around our own Waypoint fork which has three-pack mounts on each leg and internal dynamo and brake routing.
  • For cable management, we’ve chosen to use Paragon’s modular system which allows the cleanest possible appearance and can be customized for AXS, 1X or a traditional two derailleur setup. We use full-round cable guides on the stays as we find plastic zip ties on high-end bikes to be an inelegant compromise.
  • Clearance for 700 X 50c or 650b X 2.2" tires 

*Currently all Earth Ships are being made to order with your choice of stock or custom geometry, your choice of features and frame options, and stock or custom paint. 

GEOMETRY
Gravel race geo with all-day comfort and bump absorption at the forefront. The tall stack, a slightly lowered bottom bracket, and generous stays yield an unbelievably smooth ride and inspire confidence when descending fast over loose terrain. Fairly aggressive head tube angles keep everything quick and maneuverable. 

TUBING

Chosen specifically for lightweight and vibration damping, each piece of tubing on every size is carefully selected to be as comfortable and light as possible. Columbus Life for the main triangle with Columbus Zona stays.  The dropouts, bottom bracket, braze-ons, and tapered headtube are from Paragon Machine Works.

    My Baby loves his new baby!
    Size: Medium, Size: Medium
    Finally! A ball my 107 lb. pitty/pointer mix can’t destroy. He has torn up every single “indestructible” toy in a day or so until now. He peels fabric and fur off non-rubber toys. He is a 4-legged shredder. I’ve added pictures of him for a size reference of my dog versus this product. I know I had wanted that when shopping for this item. This ball is now his beloved “baby.” He goes absolutely insane looking for it, chewing it, chasing it, and even sleeping with it. He won’t rest unless he knows exactly where it is. It is his only toy, and he is good with that. After getting this home, I tried giving him other choices, but he won’t touch them. I was worried that he would rip it apart by putting his teeth in the holes, but so far, not a scratch. It is soft enough to collapse just enough to keep it from cracking when his jaws crush it but not so soft that he can rip it to sheds. The holes are large enough to prevent a suction or vacuum effect on his tongue or mouth. For his size jaws, it is a perfect fit. Other dogs might have problems with suction or be able to get their teeth in those holes and rip it apart. Who knows? The older version of the Chuckit squeaky ball was his favorite for the year and a half he had it, but the way they make them now, he peels off the orange triangle in hours flat, the squeaker falls out (choking hazard), and then he rips it apart. I’m going to stock up on these. I can’t imagine how crazy he will be if they ever stop production or change the materials.

    This item is vibrant in color, but I could tell right away, It wasn’t going to be durable and indestructible like the description said. My dog had it destroyed in less than a minute.
