Description


This listing is for a 3T Exploro Carbon gravel frameset. The sale includes the frame, fork, headset, seatpost, and dub bottom bracket. It was originally purchased from Wiggle for a family member, but it is no longer needed. The frame is in new condition, although there are some marks from storage. The most noticeable mark is by the derailleur hanger, where it was bumped in storage. This has caused a small amount of paint to come off, and the surface lacquer has been slightly affected. It is only superficial damage, but it may benefit from being touched up with paint.

There is also a small chip on one of the points on the seatpost top. I forgot to take a photo of it, but it is very tiny. This frameset can fit 700x40 or 27.5x2.1" tires, making it a perfect all-road or gravel bike with two wheel sets. It features flat mount disc brakes, 12x100 and 12x142 thru axles. The geometry can be seen in the last photo. It can be collected from central London or shipped, although either option may take up to a week to arrange.

The 3T Exploro frame is designed to excel on multiple surfaces, providing a unique aero-gravel bike experience. It is a GravelPlus frameset, meaning it can accommodate either 700C or 650B wheels, with up to 700x40mm or 650x53mm tires. This design feature is currently unique to Gerard Vroomen gravel bikes. Vroomen, who was previously with Cervelo, is the head of design at 3T, and his impressive engineering mind is evident in the Exploro. Instead of testing aerodynamics at the industry standard of 30mph, the Exploro was tested at a more realistic 20mph. This means that a rider can feel the benefits of aerodynamic design at lower speeds, resulting in a rather atypical aerodynamic design.

The Exploro features a massive 50mm wide square down tube, in line with 3T's Sqaero philosophy. This down tube is designed to catch the airflow coming off the extra wide tires and is squared off to reduce drag on the side of the down tube. The rest of the tubing tapers towards the rear of the bike for optimal airflow. Vroomen and 3T are strong believers in this aerodynamic philosophy,
