With nearly 20 years in the industry, if there is something that we've learned, it's that we all want a combination of light weight, comfort, speed, and aerodynamics. In the search for the ultimate bike, there is often a trade off between these categories. Up until recently, bringing all these together in a modern geometry was a challenge that could not be surmounted until now with the arrival of the 2025 Killeen. Our signature all 'rounder, the Killeen is the perfect balance of aero, comfort and light weight sitting somewhere between our Innisfree and Tir na nOg models.
So how did we do this? If you look closely, you'll see the DNA of the frame from the aero down tube to the tight wheel base. So where did it change? Simply - everywhere. The Killeen is it's own beast using a slightly taller head tube and sharper seat tube angle to give you a little more upright comfort. The seat stays are a work of art we affectionately refer to as "the S Stay" with S standing for suspension. The gentle arc away from the aero seat tube serves to provide a suspension of sorts to absorb road shock. When you look closely at the chain stays, their svelte nature finishes the shock absorbing qualities of the frame and yet doesn't limit impulsion in a sprint.
The frame is constructed from a blend of Toray 700 and 800 and formed on a expanded polystyrene core - no bladders - in order to reduce the risk of wrinkles and give you a solid performant ride. We've reduced "the squeak" you often find in BB86 press-fit frames with the inclusion of a T47 bottom bracket. The frame is designed for electronic - whether Shimano, Campagnolo or Sram, you can wire your frame up or go wireless. Included in each frame is a matching carbon seat post and our signature combination carbon bar/stem. And weight?? We're over 120 grams less than our prior Killeen.
Following our approach of nothing so proprietary it's hard to replace, everything that is on the market today can be placed on your custom Killeen. Available in four specific sizes. Pay attention here though – to do aero, you have to think outside of the box so your legacy means to size are gone! The 54cm sizes as a traditional 56cm while the 56 sits around a traditional 58cm. All frames give you a 410mm seat stay allowing you ample power transfer and sit a standardized 45mm on fork rake.
Our component build selections are available here: 
We match all frames with a Carolina Precision Components cockpit. 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. All frames come with headset, seat post and integrated bar and stem. We offer both matte black and radiant purple. Other colors available as each frame is indecently produced for each customer exactly as they wish. We recommend Campagnolo to outfit our flagship frame however we offer Sram, Campagnolo and FSA We.
