With the masses taking to the trail, its only natural to crave an adventure that pushes you well beyond the crowds, down country roads to ghost towns that remain as a dilapidated reminder of the Wild West, with crumbling facades of saloons and old country stores. You know the kind of road we're talking about -- the kind that is coated with a layer of dust and gravel to challenge the sum of your tire clearance on your road machine, and require quicker pedaling power than your trail machine while you push your way off the map. Juliana crafts the all-new Quincy Carbon CC Rival 1x Complete Bike to take on adventures of the gravel kind, with a finely tuned carbon frame and fork that's built to hold up to the jarring terrain that you find beyond the tarmac, and offer just the right amount of give to keep you comfortable on the long haul. While this Quincy is fitted with lofty 700c hoops, Juliana builds the frame with plenty of fine-tuning opportunity, offering the space you need to run either 700c or 650b wheels, and clearance to run lofty tires on either application. It features relatively slack geometry for a fully-rigid steed, with a 69. 5-degree head tube angle (size 49), providing you with a longer wheelbase for stability on uneven terrain and poorly graded gravel. But don't worry, that longer wheelbase won't leave you feeling too stretched out and sluggish, as the slacker head tube is paired up with a neatly perched, steep 74. 5-degree seat tube (size 49), allowing you to stay at the center of your cockpit and ready for the attack, should you decide to toe the line at a gravel race, or hit the sand-pits for CX season. Pleasingly simple, the Quincy foregoes pesky front-derailleurs for a cleaner, tidy one-by application. This makes for less maintenance, and fewer issues when you're a hundred miles off of the beaten path and far from cell service -- however the chassis can be set up with a clamp-on front derailleur if more gears is what you're after.
