Available in a very limited series of 100 framesets, the Principia Limited Edition presents a further refinement of the Revolution D2S design. The Limited Edition presents a new integrated head tube that maintains the renowned Ellipse Project characteristics. No compromise - perfect aesthetics, perfect handling. Features: • Tube Insert Welding - Unglamorous and invisible, but definitely important. The tubes are fitted inside each other rather than on top of each other, i.e. the seat tube is inserted into the bottom bracket and the top tube into the head tube. It allows for closer tolerances, better weld quality and saves excess material. This all adds up to a lighter frame, without any sacrifice on the parts of safety or performance. • SX Geometry - SX Differential Slope Geometry varies the amount of slope according to frame size. The smaller frames get a more dramatic slope, while the larger frames feature only a moderate slope. In a sense, the work on the SX slope technology began 4 years ago, when Principia introduced the S6 (6 centimeter slope) technology. What we found was that while the S6 slope was perfect for the smaller sizes, it often produced an unaesthetic and structurally unsound seatpost length, on the larger frame sizes. The SX technology is a new, individual approach to sloping frame geometries, ensuring a proper fit for all frame sizes. • Carbon Friendly Seat Tube - Carbon seat posts are lightweight and strong, which is good. They are also susceptible to failure if fitted incorrectly, which is bad. The main problem is with the traditional clamping method, which exerts very concentrated` pressure on the sides of the seat post. Principia’s new, patented, carbon friendly seat tube clamps the post gently, spreading pressure over a larger area. Your carbon seat post will be much happier for it. Additional safety measures apply for carbon seat` posts, so please consult your Principia Owner’s Manual. Specifications: • Sizes - 52cm to 59cm • Colour - Rust Metal PLEASE NOTE: All frames come with the components they are pictured with, there are NO alternative options available for ANY Principia frame set.
