Ben’s V3 frameset

Ben asked me to build him a road frame based on the V3 carbon ISP platform. We went back and forth a little to get the geometry just right for his fit and aesthetic. He decided to have it built to suit a mechanical shifting, rim brake groupset.

The frame features Enve carbon tubing for the integrated mast and the headtube insert, with mostly Columbus Life tubes elsewhere. All the cable routing is internal, and there is an Extralite headset and stem mating to the Enve fork.

Ben wanted to do something special with the paint, but needed creative help – we called on Roger of Svelte Cycleworks to help come up with the design, which was then painstakingly executed by Eric at Colorworks.
