Crupi
Frames
When you are ready to take your racing to the next level, then it's time
to upgrade your equipment. The frame is the center of it all and
all high-end race bikes should begin with a top notch frame. Once
you have your frame, then you can build it up with top notch parts as
quickly or as slowly as you like until the entire bike is completely
dialed in!
Each
Crupi frame is designed for a specific size need and the geometry of that
frame is suited for that size rider.
In other words, we didn’t design a frame we liked, then size it
to fit everyone. We don’t add any fancy gimmicks to our
frames, we just hand build quality frames that work and
work well!
General Frame
Information
All
Crupi frames are built with seamless drawn 6061 T6 tubing. Very
few other frame companies use this type of material because it is more
expensive. What does this mean to you? The cold reduction
process of our tubing improves dimensional tolerances and simply makes a
stronger frame. The material is so good that each material run
comes with quality certification sheets that show that the material was
tested for mechanical properties and an aluminum chemical analysis.
All Crupi frames feature this seamless drawn material which is
ovalized at the ends to provide more welding surface.
The chain stays are ovalized at the bottom bracket and
rectangular at the dropouts in order to provide more stability in these
areas. The axle slot in the
dropouts is parallel to the ground meaning no matter what position your
rear wheel is in; the frame geometry will not change.
All Crupi frames come standard with Euro style bottom brackets.
Frame sizing
is critical to making your frame work best for you. When
comparing other frames to the Crupi frame, forget what
you’ve heard about top tube length since that
will not provide
accurate information. Please click

BMX frame to insure you get the best size.
