Virtue
Go The Distance
A modern classic, the Virtue features timeless design with round Columbus XCr stainless steel tubes seamlessly joined together with silver fillet brazed joints. With its familiar, classic lines, and unparalleled stainless steel ride quality, it’s designed for a smooth, confidence inspiring ride, all-day comfort and endurance with efficiency.
Designed to put the rider in a fast position that they can maintain all day, we’ve made the Virtue to be the most comfortable road bike possible without surrendering speed. Designed for longer days in the saddle and fast summer rides alike, with predictable handling and lively feel, it’s fast and fun, all day long.
Frame Details
The frame is stainless steel throughout with Columbus’ highest grade XCr tubing, CNC machined dropouts and T47 threaded bottom bracket shell. The seat stays hide the integrated seatpost clamp and are bridged by a Saffron logo bridge, flipped to curve over the rear tyre. Paired with an ENVE carbon fork, and Chris King headset, the bike features clearance for 32mm tyres.

Configuration
Once your frame geometry has been designed, a component consultation is available where we discuss which components would work best on your build. We can supply finishing kit components from a wide variety of manufacturers and will help you select parts to complement your build and ensure you’re in the best position. We also have a vast selection of handbuilt or off the shelf wheel options available
Paint Design
We have a selection of single colour options available for all bikes or choose our special edition House Scheme as featured on the bike in the images on this page. If you are looking for something completely unique, we also offer a full custom paint design service. This involves a consultation with our in-house designer who can take your inspiration and turn it into a one-off, full custom paint design.
