Originally produced in 1988, 3D Violet was Chris King‘s first component color (after silver and black, of course). After a long hiatus, it’s been back in the Portland, Oregon-based manufacturer’s lineup for the last couple of years. Now, with the release of the brand’s new King Seatpost Collar and Robert Axle Project-manufactured King Thru Axles, you can lace your frame with 3D Violet from headsets to hubs, axles, and bottom brackets.

You can order 3D violet for your bike from your local Chris King dealer or from Chris King direct.

Crust Bikes‘ latest model, the EPO ($2100 frameset), is a US-Made road frame, built from Italian steel. Or perhaps its 38 mm max tire clearance makes it an All-Road bike, right? Who knows anymore? Anyway, the EPO is built by Darren Larkin in Connecticut in very small batches.

It’s made up of an assortment of the finest Columbus steel available. The Italian tubes provide a ride quality that will have you wanting to push this bike like you’ve been juiced up and are breaking away in the ’99 Tour de France. Each frame comes paired up with an ENVE AR Disc Fork to match the frame’s tire clearance and keep the front end light and nimble.

If you’re an AXS devotee, the EPO is available with or without shifter housing guides. Check out more at Crust Bikes.
