The Strummer Unbound CF frameset is designed to deliver maximum performance on smooth roads (tarmac) and gravel. It is manufactured with Toray T700 and designed with a shape that provides extra strength.
The asymmetrical chainstay design increases stiffness on the drive side, improves stability on the non-drive side, and increases clearance for larger chainrings. The monocoque production process for the front and rear sections makes this frame more precise and stiff.
The top tube is designed with a vibration-dampening zone that reduces vibration, providing a comfortable ride on gravel routes.
Frame Only variant, fork not included.

Size Selection Guide
| Size | Recommended Rider Height | Estimated Minimum Inseam |
|---|---|---|
| 490 / Small | 165–174 cm | Approximately 79 cm |
| 520 / Medium | 172–180 cm | Approximately 81 cm |
| 550 / Large | 180–186 cm | Approximately 85 cm |
The height ranges overlap because size selection is also influenced by inseam length, torso, arm length, body flexibility, and desired riding position.
Prioritize inseam length and standover clearance. As a guide, leave approximately 20–30 mm between your crotch and the top tube when standing over the bicycle.
If your height falls within an overlapping range:
-
Choose a smaller size for a lower position and more agile handling.
-
Choose a larger size for a higher front-end position and more stable riding characteristics.
Stem size, crank length, handlebar width, number of spacers, and saddle position can also affect comfort and riding position.
