Curve Cycling GMX+ – Carsten
It was time for a another new bike for our long time customer Carsten! This time we are looking for something very off-road capable: The Curve GMX+ steel with tyre width up to 29×3″ was the perfect candidate! We build the bike with purple Hope Tech Pro 5 hubs laced to wide W33i Syntace rims (and purple nipples) and combined them with well proven Vittoria Mezcal tyres. The GRX 1×11 group was combined with a White industries crankset that matches the steel frame beautifully.

Lauras Sour Purple Haze was build with fast touring and commuting in mind and sized according to a previous bike sizing by our friends at Diagnose Berlin. Wheels build with the most beautiful aluminium rim, the White Industries G25A, laced to SON dynamo and Hope Pro 5 rear hub. We choose 650b with WTB Byway tyres for maximum comfort while being fast. Shimano 1×12 groupset to keep shifting simple but effective. Ritchey Comp Butano handlebar combined with matching Comp stem and seatpost. Tubus carrier rear and the beautiful Allygn front rack for adding loads to the bike. SON Edelux frontlight and B+M rear light to bring brightness into the dark winter!

Curve GXR Kevin – Fabian
With Fabian we planed a very special project based on the Curve Cycling GXR titanium frameset that actually shows how versatile it is. The setup includes two wheelsets. 1st: fast with carbon Duke World Runner 50 SLS2 rims and Teravail Rampart tyres, 2nd: offroad with Newmen Evolution SL A.30 rims with wide Maxxis Ikon tyres. Both sets of rims combined with Erase rear hub and dynamo in front for use with lights. For shifting Shimano GRX 810 combined with Garbaruk cage and cassette. In front a Rotor 2INpower Powermeter crank and matching Q-Ring. Orange seatclamp and headset from Hope Tech are a perfect match to the orange Garabruk details. PRO carbon seatpost, Discover stem and handlbar with ENVE bar finish the bike nicely!
