The Crust Lightning Bolt Canti Frame is designed for those who value a lightweight, responsive ride focused on road and randonneuring cycling. Its TIG-welded, heat-treated Chromoly construction is one of the lightest in the Crust lineup, providing a smooth, floating sensation as you ride, almost like you're gliding above the road. This frame is built for comfort and speed, perfect for long-distance riders looking to take on mixed terrain with ease.

The Lightning Bolt comes in a variety of stylish colors, including Black, Light Sea Green, Champagne, and Lilac. These frames feature the Gran Trajet Fork Crown, which is designed to perfectly fit a 48b tire and accommodate 42s with fenders for a clean, seamless aesthetic. The Galaxy Black version has a different fork crown, fitting a 42b tire but not a 48b.

The Imperial Oval fork blades on the newer colors offer passive suspension, improving comfort and increasing speed, making the Lightning Bolt an ideal randonneuring bike for those seeking comfort and performance.

Build Notes:

  • This frame is designed for a 650b wheelset, with maximum tire sizes of 48c for the Sea Green, Champagne, and Lilac models, and 42c for the Galaxy Black model.

  • Recommended rider weight has changed to 100kg (220lbs).

  • The frame features removable brake posts, so if you prefer to use fenders, we recommend 38c tires for a smooth setup.

  • The frame is ED-coated to protect it from the elements and internal corrosion.

  • This is a road and light gravel bike, not designed for aggressive single-track riding.

The Crust Lightning Bolt Canti Frame is perfect for those seeking a versatile, lightweight bike with the ability to handle road and gravel adventures, making it an excellent choice for randonneur-style cycling.
