About this product
The 2024 Retrospec Kinney Hybrid Road Bike Frame Set is a 51cm small, beige steel frame designed for commuter and cafe-style riding. It features a durable steel frame material and is compatible with 700C wheel sizes. This configuration includes the frame, fork, and extras, allowing for a custom build. It is intended for men and uses caliper - side pull brake types, making it suitable for a classic hybrid setup. Originating from Taiwan, this frameset provides a solid foundation for a new bike.
Our take
If you're looking to build up a custom hybrid or commuter bike, this Retrospec Kinney frameset is a decent starting point. The steel frame offers that classic, compliant ride feel, which is great for city streets or leisurely cafe cruises. Being a frame, fork & extras configuration, you're getting a blank canvas, but remember you'll need to source all other components like wheels, groupset, and brakes. The caliper brake type is straightforward but won't offer the stopping power of modern disc brakes, a definite consideration for urban environments. It's an honest foundation, especially for those who appreciate steel.
