Spectrum roll call

I had always wanted a Spectrum steel and titanium bike and figured one of these years I would have Tom design a do everything gravel type bike. Then I saw early this year Tom had announced both Jeff and him would be retiring but would take orders for a few months. Well I was having Dave Kirk build me a dream road bike so my budget was already spent.

I would love to see posted here as many of those last built Spectrums. I hope some of those owners will share them with the rest of us.

Not from the very last run, but an "all-road" only a few years old with a Sugino OX901d sub-compact crank and 11sp Shimano, Paul centerpulls. Clearance for 700 x35c or 650b X40c tires. Imron "dark metallic green" with "taupe" panels, colors inspired by another frameset Tom had just finished and was hanging in his shop during my fit visit. The visit was a wonderful experience, and the first ride was a game changer demonstration of how a bike can/should feel, even though I'm an easy fit for 56cm square stock bikes. Best wishes to Tom and Jeff in their transition to the next chapter of their lives, great bikes, even better people!
