Motorsports paint job
The triple-butted (three wall thickness changes per tube) mainframe combines a massive 38mm diameter down tube and 35mm top and seat tubes in an extended seat tube format that gives a standover height of just 675mm. The Shan has ISCG-05 chain guide mounts, replaceable dropouts that let you switch between 142x12mm and 135x10mm rear axles or even fit 26in wheels, and bolt-on cable clips for various routing options.

The head angle is a super slack 65.5 degrees
It’s anti-rust treated internally and externally. Disappointingly there’s no internal dropper post cable/hose routing though. The limited edition Gulf Oil Porsche 917 colour way seen here adds marginally to the price.
Production Privee offers a complete RockShox Pike/SRAM GX/KS dropper post bike, or the rolling chassis seen here, which comes with some of our favourite wheels – Spank Oozy Trail295s, in an orange anodised finish.
