Light Blue Trinity:
The Light Blue brand of bicycles was designed and hand made by JA Townsend in
Cambridge.
In 2010 – some 115years after the first Light Blues – comes the Trinity 531
LE track frameset.
Designed by the great grandson of JA Townsend and produced using limited Edition
Reynolds 531 tubing.
A true connoisseur’s choice, these framesets are destined to be cherished…
as there will only ever be 100 made in total, and each one is number stamped.
Classic brazed lugs embrace Limited Edition Reynolds 531 tubing.
Contrasting classic graphics and the metal headbadge emphasise the 115 years of
heritage that other brands can only dream about.
Hand painted gold lines around the lugs are almost a lost art form in the
industry, and are another feature that exposes the Trinity’s true classic
heritage.
Why go with a 1” threaded headset:
We wanted the whole Light Blue Trinity frameset to stay true to the classic
beauty of the Birmingham made sleek Reynolds 531 tubeset, and so we opted to use
the retro technology afforded by a small and neat 1” threaded headset and
quill stem.
After all, the suitability of this technology was proven over the 100 years that
it was the performance standard, and still provides the advantages of
independent headset and stem settings, together with user friendly telescopic
handlebar height fine tuning adjustments, plus –super neat styling with no
ugly (or knee knocking) rear stem clamp bolts or stacking spacers required.
Frankly, you have to wonder why so many “modern road” frames bother to use
the Mountain bike based threadless systems ?
At 1.833Kg (4lbs and 3/4oz), this classic performance steel track frame is light
enough to surprise the competition… and yet still pass the latest stringent EN
test standards.
