Pipedream recently sent us in its completely updated Sirius hardtail, which has been redesigned from the ground up for 2017.
At first glance, the 4130 frameset looks like a pretty standard affair: skinny tubed, long, slack and low. But on closer inspection you begin to notice a lot of nice details throughout.
The bottom bracket junction and the custom machined chainstay yoke is undoubtedly the star of the show, with the widely-spaced rear end easily accommodating a 2.8” tyre with plenty of clearance leftover for mud. The bike will also gladly run 29x2.4” tyres should you wish to run the bike with wagon sized wheels.

The yoke extends forward, fully wrapping around the bottom bracket shell. This creates a much stronger join compared to simply welding the yoke onto the back of the shell.
