Where it all began.. The Tir na nOg.... light, comfortable, stunning aesthetics and a pleasure to ride and this version is in a limited edition fractal white paint scheme. Snappy enough to do a criterium on and comfortable enough to take you out for a century. This is the fourth iteration of our iconic first introduction into the cycling world. In 2008 we sought to product a lightweight, fast and stylish frame of high quality and lacking the non-sense bottom bracket standards that were emerging. We sought something efficient in terms of performance but also not too hard on the pocket book. From that emerged our original Tir na nOg - a frame dreamed up by those who established Irish over a post-criterium beer and dinner in Raleigh, NC at a pub named... you guessed it Tir na nOg.
Our re-imagined TNN (for short) combines the characteristics we sketched out that fateful day in March 2008 and updates them with everything modern for 2025... We've introduced eye popping paint schemes that combined with our use of T1000 carbon to provide for a light weight experience (~900g total for a 54cm frame), introduced a T47 bottom bracket for our wide 85.5mm bottom bracket and mated the frame to a cock pit exclusive from Carolina Precision components that allows for a full internal running of cables or semi-external from the bar into the frame allowing you to quickly change out stems.
But that's the surface level, let's dive into the ride. The bike simply "moves". Agile with a modern geometry and comfort provided by the blended T1000 and T800 fibers, you feel suspended above the road with no loss of power as a result of our 85.5mm bottom bracket. More like a glide and less like a float as your power transfers to movement. A touch more upright than the Innisfree, the front end allows you to open up more and climb better yet tuck in for that final sprint. Build with Campagnolo or Sram... Wireless the preferred means...
Our component build selections are available here:
Please specify your stem length: 90mm,100mm,110mm, and 120mm. Not an issue. Bar width 40,42,44cm (yes we moved between mm and cm here.. Keeping you awake!). If you want, swap our for a FSA or Deda cockpit as well. Different from the Innisfree, these frams do not come with a stem but do feature an Irish seatpost.
