The De Rosa Corum Gravel - Embracing Steel's Timeless Appeal
When you think of all the decades that all bikes were made from steel, it seems bizarre to think of how quickly everyone was willing to ditch their steel frames for newfangled aluminum or carbon. But the De Rosa Corum Gravel bike is here to prove that steel is still a material capable of making drool-worthy and super fun bikes. De Rosa already has a Corum and Corum Disc in their lineup. Both high quality steel frames that invite an imaginative cyclist to explore routes unknown.
Elevating the Gravel Riding Experience with the Corum Gravel
By adding the Corum Gravel to the collection, they are matching modern sensibilities – like wider tire clearance, disc brakes and sloping geometries – with the classic ride quality and durability of steel. Many of you out there who predate the dominance of carbon frames will be quick to point out that steel frames always used to be able to handle a bit of gravel riding, so what’s the point in making one gravel specific? Well, the point is now we have such things as disc brakes and wider tire options. Sure, maybe Eddy Merckx was happy enough to wobble over some sandy cobbles on a De Rosa with 19mm tires and rim brakes, but not one of us is Eddy Merckx! Why not take advantage of the benefits offered wider tires? The De Rosa Corum Gravel can accept up to 40mm tires, which will be plenty for anything but the deepest sand or rockiest outcroppings. The Corum Gravel is TIG welded frame, made from high quality 18MCDV6 steel. Though available in several stock sizes, the fact that it is steel means that it can also be made to measure customizing both geometry and slope. The frame fits an integrated 1 1/8” headset and comes with a carbon fibre fork.
The De Rosa Corum Gravel bike answers the needs of the modern aficionado and the pure classicist. It proves that mixing the best of both worlds results in epic gravel grinds and adventures.
