The historic Milanese brand Drali launches a new, elegant creature, which pushes its frame-building tradition a step further. It is about Trinity, a larger steel frame with integrated cables, for disc brakes and electronic gear shifting, with the unrivaled aesthetics of handcrafted bikes.
As just mentioned, the heart of this new model lies in the oversized diameter tubes, which guarantee great resistance to stress and reduce unwanted flex. a frame with the comfort of Custom Drali steel, but with a strong competitive spiritLet's take a closer look at this little gem, a perfect mix of tradition and innovation.
Stiffness, comfort and “phosphating”
Trinity will be included in the “Special” category of the Milanese brand, of which it will be the model most suited to racing. In Drali they have worked a lot on the research of rigidity, which was achieved thanks to the combination of oversized tubes and optimized frame geometry, which of course means greater pedaling efficiency and reduced energy loss.
It should be noted in this regard, the rear seat stay attachment, lowered compared to the previous one Morpheus model: a choice in line with the geometry of all the most modern bikes. The choice of the integrated cable routing for electronic groupsets, which improves aerodynamics and makes the frame's aesthetics even cleaner.
The choice of steel (Custom Drali) then gives the bike the ideal balance between resistance and comfort, dampening road vibrations and ensuring durability over time. Furthermore, a special “phosphating” process was used to protect the tubes, while the most delicate points such as the bottom bracket are made of stainless steel to increase their resistance.
Weight, color, details and price
As for the weight, the company declares 1.720 grams for the frame in size 51,5 without paint.
The integrated headset is 1''1/2, for the Deda All Road Carbon fork included in the frame kit, completed by the Drali Carbon seatpost. There are eight sizes available, from 50 to 60,5, while the color is the elegant Titanium Grey.
Furthermore, Drali, thanks to its craftsmanship, offers its most demanding customers various customizations, from the choice of color to the geometries, up to the possibility of having external cable routing for mechanical groups.
The Trinity frame kit in standard format is available to the public at a price of 3.090 euros.
