Airborne Carpe Diem 56cm Frameset with Extras

Airborne Carp Diem 56 Frameset

This served as my bad weather commuter bike. With the titanium frame and aluminum fork, there was never a worry about rusting. Frame and fork are in good condition for their age, no dents or cracks. BB and headset run very smoothly. Frame and fork date back to the early 2000’s.

The frame was way ahead of its time with a rear disc mount. (please note that the fork is canti/v-brake only) Frame also has (3) water bottle mounts and rack and fender mounts.

This frameset with additional parts will get you on your way to building a solid, yet less expensive touring, commuter, gravel, cyclocross or pit, all road, bike packing, or general do everything bike. Just add your own wheelset , brakes, pedals and shifty bits.

I road the bike with up to 38mm tires, but frame will clear 45mm (depending on tire and rim) and fork will clear more, maybe up to 50mm.
