BOTM: ROADIE U.P.P.E.R. - part 1

Andy Kessler - 09-Jan-2018
In my last BLOG about the DT Swiss inspired U.P. I made a joke about the our new development project called the UP-AIR. As always with Swiss humour its not really funny (as Gerard would say) but I will continue to do so in the future don't worry.

Actually we already have a super lightweight frame with the regular U.P.P.E.R. This frame is lighter than most road disc frames out there in the market. Have a look at the intro video of this BOTM featuring a featherlight 6.5kg build:

I can watch the video and hear the audio, maybe your Flash or Youtube plugin for your browser is not updated?

I see both the vid and audio fine? Those MCKF wheels look sweet.

Andy, can you tell us what seatpost and what tires you are running on those wheels? thanks

Hi guys!

Since living in the land of eternal rain I have a question for you...
Do you have any good alternatives for mud guards that look GOOD and fit this frame in a good way?
