CKR Data Sheet for Gianni Motta Frame Sets

The graph shows how measurements are obtained for all frame set sizes. The example applies to frame sets shown below. Please note that the fork rake is 1.0 cm longer on the Triathlon frame set than the 2001 frame set which increases the wheel base to 100 cm versus 99 cm. There will be a slight variance in the rake dimension over frame size range (48-65 cm).

• The above graph covers the 2001 frame sets. Triathlon frame set dimensions are the same except the wheel base on the Triathlon frame set is 1.0 cm longer due to more rake in the fork. Wheel base dimensions are at maximum setting.
• The head tube and seat tube angles are 74° on both frame sets.
• Bottom bracket height on both frame sets is 27 cm.
• The tubing in the 2001 is Columbus SL and the tubing in the Triathlon is Columbus Aelle. Seat tube I.D. is 27.2 mm on the 2001 frame set and 26.8 mm on the Triathlon frame set.
• Personal 2001 frame sets are available with Columbus SLX tubing and Triathlon Olympic frame sets are available with Columbus Aelle-R Tubing
• TransTork™ seat stays reduce deflection and oscillation during sprints and steep hill climbs thereby transmitting more torque to the rear wheel.
