The Crust Wombat Geared Frame is the perfect balance of fun and functionality. It's designed for riders looking to hit the trails with a derailleur hanger, giving the Wombat some gearing flexibility while maintaining its signature playful geometry. Based on Garrett's original single-speed Wombat, this version is designed to be versatile, with added features for gear compatibility and long-distance adventures.
The Wombat is built for riders who want a capable, no-nonsense bike for dirt roads, trails, or even off-the-beaten-path touring. It offers a high bottom bracket for extra ground clearance, a short back end for maneuverability, and a frame designed to hold up on rough terrain while still being fun and nimble.
Build Notes:
Tire Compatibility: Fits up to 27.5x2.6" tires, with clearance for 2.8" tires in the rear triangle. For more speed, the 2.2" UltraDynamico MARS tires are a great choice.
Brake Compatibility: Designed for V-brakes for maximum stopping power on descents, though it can also fit cantilever brakes if preferred.
Crank Compatibility: The frame accepts a mountain crank, ideally a 1x setup with a 36t chainring. You can go 2x, but you'll need to figure that out yourself.
Dropper and Dynamo Routing: The frame comes with internal dropper post routing, ideal for a 100mm dropper, and internal dynamo routing for night riding.
Mounts and Accessories: It features three-pack mounts on the fork for extra cargo, along with fork crown and brake post mounts for a bag support.
Versatile Setup: The frame works well with both 1x and internally geared hub setups, with adjustable rocker dropouts.

Designed with vertical rear dropouts and a replaceable derailleur hanger.
Big front triangle for easy frame bag fitting.

Ideal for long-distance touring or technical trail riding.
