Product news: Canadian Forbidden Bike Company presents two new titanium hardtails, the Puritan and the Heathen. The all-metal frames are available in limited editions. Designed for heavy-duty use, the titanium frame kits are said to last a lifetime, according to the manufacturer.
Forbidden Puritan

With clearance for tires up to 700c x 2,0″ (50 mm) wide and the proportional ONERIDE frame size, the Puritan aims to combine gravel efficiency with comfort and stability. The Puritan is specifically designed for use with a flat handlebar and a 60 mm stem. Price: 3.999, 00 €
