Parts Kits

What good is the best frame and fork in the world if the parts that go on them are junk. At IF we realize there is much banter and debate at your dealer’s shop about bike technology and parts. That is why we have chosen the following kit options for our IF frames because we know they will allow you to enjoy the full benefit of our frames.

Road Kits

Shimano Dura Ace

  • Chris King headset
  • Mavic Open Pro wheel set
  • Your choice of Michelin, Vredstein, Continental, or Hutchinson tires.
  • Bars and stem choices are Dedacciai, ITM, or 3TTT.
  • The saddles are all Italian with San Marco and Selle Italia rounding out your choice.

*Ultegra Same as above, except Ultegra drive train components.

Campagnolo Record 10 speed

  • Chris King Headset
  • Mavic Open pro wheel set
  • Your choice of ITM, Dedacciai, or 3TTT bar and stem combos
  • Most of the saddles made by San Marco or Selle Italia with Ti rails.
  • Tire choice include famous manufacturers Michelin, Continental, Vredstein, and Hutchinson.

*Chorus 10 speed Same as Record 10 speed, but Chorus drive train throughout. Both Record and Chorus have triples as an option to gear up for the largest of the hills or the longest of trips. The new Record and Chorus Triple tens will be available later this season.

Mountain Bike kits

Shimano XTR

This kit is the top of the line for off-road racing.

  • Chris King headset
  • Mavic 517 rims built into Wheel Smith wheels with XTR hubs and Hutchinson tires
  • Thomson stem and their well-known seat post
  • Your choice of Easton bars in aluminum or carbon.
  • Your choice in saddle between San Marco and Selle Italia.
  • The new 959 pedals are an option as well for an additional price.

*XT, The step down to the XT from Shimano’s famous XTR is not very far. This kit is equipped with the King headset and full XT drive train. You have again the choice for saddles, bar, stem, and grips. Thomson seat posts are standard.

Touring / Cyclocross kits

For those needing lower gears and cantilever brakes for touring we can put together the kit you need. These kits are the same as the double or triple Shimano road kits with a few substitutions. For any of these kits you will need cantilevers. For touring you can opt for bar ends or STI, the same is true for cross.
