  • Anyone want a 100% Chris King bike in the future?

    What is big news, though, is that King himself is jumping into the frame business with a new line called Cielo. Unbeknownst to many, Chris King the man has a background in frame building and showed off an unfinished lugged steel 'do all' classic road model late on day one.
    Most of the frame is fairly standard stuff but the front end of the Reynolds 953-tubed frame bears a very unique construction: King lops the skirts off of his own Steelset headset and brazes the bare cups to the ends of a 1" head tube, thus allowing the use of a 1 1/8" steerer in a decidedly trim-looking housing. The fork crown itself is also a King creation, currently machined from a solid hunk of steel.
