While the V1 Bloomfield was intended as a continuation of our original track frame, the Roma-Tokyo, the V2 is where the page is fully turned. This new Bloomer plants itself, if you will, as it’s own thing, dropping some of the track bike aesthetics and wheel standard in favour of more practical choices.
It being our lightest and most compact offering, the Bloomfield is perfect for tight urban spaces. The fender mounts and generous tire clearance make it an amazing winter commuter, and it can rando too!
We kept the same zippy-yet-comfy geometry of the V1 but added a few things.
Here’s what’s new:
- V-brake / Canti brake bosses, compatible with 650B wheels only
- Rear brake cable housing stops
- Threaded plate at the bottom of the fork column for front fender installation
Here's what stayed the same:
- Straight fork and agile geometry
- Forged horizontal rear dropouts in 120mm spacing
- 650Bx48 tire clearance (650Bx42 w/ fenders)
- Hidden eyelets for fenders, fork eyelets for randonneur racks
- Bottle cage eyelets
- 1" threaded fork for use with threaded headsets and quill stems
