A 32-inch wheel is a good deal bigger than a 29er or a 700c. It rolls over rough ground more easily and holds its speed, which is why bikepackers and tall riders are taking it up. It also changes the whole bike: the front end sits higher, the seat tube has to curve round the rear tyre, and the fork and frame need the clearance. Very few frames are built for it.
That is where a bespoke frame comes in. You choose the numbers, and the designer shows the effect on the wheelbase, bottom bracket height and tyre gaps as you change them. Because a 32-inch wheel is so tall, this frame starts at Medium, for riders from about 175 cm.
What you can choose
- Sizes
- Medium (about 175 to 182 cm), Large (182 to 190 cm), XL (190 to 198 cm) and XXL (198 cm and over). A 32-inch wheel is too big for a small frame, so there is no Small.
- Tyres
- Tyres from 1.9 to 2.5 inches. Chainstays start at 465 mm so the big wheel has room, and you can lengthen them.
- Mounts and routing
- Rack and mudguard mounts, top tube bag mounts, extra bottle bosses and internal cable routing are all free.
- Drivetrain options
- Choose your rear mech and a UDH or bolt-on hanger, add a belt-drive splitter for £10 or sliding dropouts for £20.

Questions
Why choose 32-inch wheels for gravel?
They roll over rough ground more easily and hold their speed, and they suit loaded bikes on rough tracks. The downside is that very few frames and forks are made for them, so this one is drawn to order. My guide to 32-inch wheels says what fits.
How tall do I need to be?
The smallest size, Medium, suits riders from about 175 cm. A 32-inch wheel is too big for a smaller frame.
Which tyres will it take?
Tyres from 1.9 to 2.5 inches. The designer shows the gap to the seat tube and down tube for the tyre you pick.
