What a story this road bike was. Got a call from a local tourist board needing a road bike to rent for a journalist. Road biking is mostly dead in this area with great MTB trails and as much gravel as pavement. So I rush built this custom geometry small frame. It was finished with just enough time for a short test. Had to grab an old 105 groupset from another bike, a chain and wheels from a different one.

Frame weighs 1240g... That's comparable to many carbon frames, but with the buttery smooth joy of 4130 steel.

The journalist loved the bike on multiple rides that totalled about 150 miles.

Custom color is a nice lavender with a silver sheen

While I normally tig weld my frames, I almost always braze the dropouts. The smooth look, and the ability to fill large holes means I can finish internal routing seamlessly. Here I went with an arrow theme to match the Axial logo punctuating each internal tube. Without lasers, cuts that small and precise require a lot of needle file work.

Introducing the Axial Omnivolens Monster cross/gravel bike. This lightweight is capable and fast. Coming in at 22 pounds with almost xc geometry and dropper post. Seen here in it's natural habitat with colors inspired by the land and sky. Custom Cerakote done in house along with the custom laced
Blunt SS rims on hubs.
27.5x2.1 tires are very light and fast.
Mounts everywhere for packing, rear pannier rack, 3x anything cages, 4x bottle cages, top mount stem bag.

More detail pics coming... Wait until you see the cable routing pipe details. Also coming are bike packing setup pics

Of course yours can be completely custom to you.

From trail to "trail" there's nothing like an Axial hardtail 29x2.6 to enjoy exploring. I love disused trails, places so little used that the plants reclaim the earth, where navigation involves studying the land, observing the trees, looking for evidence of horseshoe prints, getting off the bike to climb over fallen trees. Sometimes mountain biking isn't about "shredding the gnar" or other violent metaphors of destroying creation but being a part of it.

Some satisfying mask removal.

Latest Axial Bike build is this fixed gear road bike.
Running 48-14 gear on custom built wheels set up tubeless. Custom made seat mast topper. Tight tire clearance on the dropped stays allow for a 28c to just fit right. No freewheel option with no rear brake mount, so no cabling. The simple essence of bicycle. Well, there are three bottle mounts, with one to mount a 15mm spanner and bag for spares.

by me.

Sending it for six hours on a hardtail? With 29x2.6 tires, 140mm fork, why not? This bike shreds. And this is the home of Axial Bikes. Can't complain. Nothing like racing bikes you've handmade!

How to do 3 internal cables fully tube-in-tube and 2 internal wires with large plug ends, have them all fit, make it look on theme, and not make the downtube weak on a heavy ebike? Here's my attempt. The triangle fits the Axial logo. The center big hole is for the wires to fit the plugs and it uses standard frame port grommets. The center small hold is for the rear brake hose, allowing left or right of the head tube routing.

This 29er is what happens when you combine aggressive trail bike geometry and take out the rear suspension—a rocket up and downhill. By ditching rear suspension the rear axle can be tucked in much closer, giving quick and nimble handling out back. The slack headtube angle (65º) provides the stabi...
