Apr 9, 2025Nordest Lacrau 2 Ti - Frame & Pinion Gearbox
$2000 GBPFrame, headset, and gearbox/gripshift/cranks/gates belt sprockets & belt kit
2012 Nordest Lacrau 2 Ti, size L.
This is a titanium hardcore/trail hardtail, with the following geometry:
64.5 degree HA
75 degree SA
470mm ST
485mm reach
664mm ETT
1244mm wheelbase
Designed around 160mm forks
If you're interested in the fully built bike, with a top of the line build (carbon wheels, carbon bars, plus a 2nd set of 27.5 gravel wheels) then I have an advert for this.
This frame can accept 29 or 27.5 wheels, and a 160mm fork. It's light, extremely agile and fun, and is a real rocket downhill. Being raw titanium, there's no paint to worry about, any scratches or marks can be removed in a few minutes with a brillo pad.
The gearbox and frame has around 500km on them so barely worn in. Oil change has been done once but is due another (it's a 10 minute job).
Included in the price is:
Frame and Hope Headset
Pinion C1.12 Gearbox - 12 gears, 600% range
Cranks
Gripshift
Gates belt drive kit - 2x sprockets, belt
Tool for removing the gates sprockets from the gearbox
If required, I can also include any parts from the full build, at extra cost. Please let me know if you need any bits to build your bike.
Reasonable offers accepted. I'll ship or deliver personally within the UK, shipping costs on top.

Dec 14, 2024Nordest Lacrau 2 Ti - Pinion, belt drive - Size L
$3300 GBPThis is my 2021 Nordest Lacrau 2 Ti trail/enduro hardtail, built in April 2021. I'm selling as I'm just not using it enough (according to Strava I've done less than 500km on it) and I'm considering buying a lightweight Emtb and can't justify having 3 mountain bikes in the garage.
I'm 6ft 3in.
This is a titanium frame, with the following geometry:
64.5 degree HA
75 degree SA
470mm ST
485mm reach
664mm ETT
1244mm wheelbase
The drivetrain is a Pinion C1:12 gearbox with 12 gears and a 600% range, gripshift, and a Gates carbon belt drive.
Full spec is as follows:
Fox 36 Factory 150mm grip 2
Sector 9i 29er carbon wheels, weight 1690g, 29mm internal
Rimpact inserts front and rear - rear pro, front std
Vittoria Mazza trail tyres, 2.4"
Hope headset
Oneup carbon bar, 35mm rise, 800mm wide
DMR defy 50+ stem
Hope Tech 3 V4 brakes
180mm rotors
200mm brand X dropper post
Fabric Scoop radius saddle
Ergon grips
The bike will also come with a extra set of wheels for gravel riding, with the belt drive the bike makes an excellent long distance gravel bike. I've fitted a set of tailfin fork mounts which allows 2x bottles and/or luggage to be carried on the forks. The extra wheels are:
WTB KOM i45 light rims
Rear - Pinion SS hub
Front - Hope Pro 4 hub
Tyres - Teravail Coronado, 27.5 x 3.0"
Extra gates rear sprocket
180mm hope rotors
The current version of this frame, with the gearbox and gates belt drive kit would cost around £3000 from Nordest after import fees, and there's a 12 week lead time on them currently.
I'm based in the SE (Kent) so ideally pick up, however I'm regularly away long weekends all over the country so if you're seriously interested, as long as you're not in the Highlands then I'm sure a meeting and excuse for a weekend away can be made.
