As you may know, 14 Bike Co announced the production of the 14R Track/Low-pro a couple of months ago…
At Bespoked Bristol we displayed the first two prototypes of each model, one of which was Mikey Ramirez’s 14R Low-pro,
which both had blanks of the well known 14R drop out fitted. After the Bespoked show we talked to Royce, (who make some
of the finest track hubs on the planet among other components) and as a result of this, Royce agreed to
produce the 14R drop outs for us.
These are the only drop outs Royce have ever agreed to produce. We gave them the basic drop out design and asked
them if they could make any improvements. The main improvement is the on the reverse of the 14R dropout, Royce have
managed to mill out a fair bit more of the 316 stainless steel than the original drop outs. Whilst adding a touch
of typical Royce detailing.
“I’m stoked to have been able to work with Royce on the 14R Drop outs. These are not just lifeless pieces of stainless steel anymore, they have had more attention to detail put into them than any other track
drop out I know of…” Æ
If you have already ordered a 14R then your bike will include the Royce drop outs at no extra cost.
The 14R Track/Low Pro frame will come with Royce drop outs as standard from now on.
14R Track / Low Pro (frame only) – £795.00
14R Reynolds 853 Aero Frame with Royce Stainless 316 Steel Drop outs: £795.00
Fork Options:
Fork option No.1: Alpina F04 Carbon 1 1/8th Track Fork £99.99
Fork option No.2: Alpina Wing Pista Carbon Monocoque 1 1/8th Track Fork £249.99
Forks will be painted in 14R Matte Black to match your 14R frame. (Any other colour will cost extra on top of the retail price)

With a few days of sunny weather it really is a treat to be able to work outside. The top photograph depicts one
of our 14R’s pre-paint shop. It’s practically good enough to ride like that so I’m looking forward to the first raw
finish with a clear lacquer. The second image is of Andy Ellis building himself a wheel-set. Andy Ellis is the brains
behind our 14R, so it’s really great to have him as part of the 14 family.
Summer is almost here so be sure to leave yourself enough time for ordering the 14R’s.

It’s always a real pleasure when customers come to visit to say hi. Australian born Andrew is currently working at a
Cycle Surgery store in West London but decided he wanted to back British manufacturing and bought one of our very
own ESB’s. I’m glad to see he’s taking good care of it too.
