LANDRACE Tupelo - Shimano GRX Di2 Build

An all-road build for a ride across Wales

Landrace Tupelo GRX Di2

The Tupelo frame is designed for road and light gravel rides

Nick wanted a comfortable bike to keep him fit and something he could ride across Wales on one of his adventures. We kept the build simple with the alloy cockpit and Hope 20FIVE wheels and after his test ride Nick decided on Shimano's electric gears as the shifting is so sharp and quick. The combination of the 11-34 cassette and 48/31 chainrings gives him nice low gears for easy rides.

The drop from saddle to the bars is only 5cm but the frame design provides a nicely proportioned bike without the need for lots of spacers under the stem. This frame is the medium/large which equates to approximately 55cm, saddle height is 74cm.

What our clients say

  • "I tried the shorter cranks today and I like them - it feels like it's less stress for the back and it seems easier to ride higher cadence. In the end I had a good Tour with no back problems. Thanks for your help!"

    Bauke Mollema
  • "Julian was very knowledgeable and explained the fitting process very well. He came highly recommended and i completely agree. Very happy with the service. Instantly felt better on the bike. The pain i had in my knee went away right away. "

    Recreational cyclist

  • "I'm new to cycling so needed some support on finding a bike that would be right for me. Julian couldn't have been kinder or more supportive, he took time to find out what I wanted from my cycling and then looked closely at my physical structure to ensure that the bike is a comfortable fit for me. It really is a 5 star service and far exceeded my expectations."
