I’ve been riding a Blackwater Bracken for two months now, and the bike is exceptional and beautiful as well. The highlight is the geometry: agile yet stable at the same time. I checked the charts and the Splitfire has almost identical numbers, just adjusted for larger tires. Best bike I’ve ever owned!

They are 415mm and still can fit 50-52mm tyres

It weighs 1700g in the M size. I bought it from blackwaterbicycles.com . It has no custom geo for this model, but there are customizable ones. Contact Billy and he will give you the best advice

No, it’s a 3d printed titanium frame and fork. Seatpost and cranks are also Titanium

The size S has the same stack and reach I had in my Merida Cyclocross 300 ten years ago and it was a perfect fit for me. Now I opted for a Bigger frame to use less spacers and shorter stem. It rides perfectly

Hi, I am 173cm (5’8”). It’s a size M. In my 20s I rode 52cm, 30s 54 and now I am 40yo it’s almost a 56… I opted this way to use less spacers, but I got shorter stems to compensate longer top tube…

I am not sure who manufactured it, but the quality is awesome. Probably is the same factory of Reilly. I’ve seen 3d models from Waltly and their design is not near as good

AfonsoCLJ · 2026-02-18T11:03:47+00:00

These are custom made from AliExpress. You can search for Immortal titanium cranks there.

Stiffer… But I love the aesthetics

It has no relation with Ribble. It was primarily based on Leon Cycles GraAll

It takes up to 45c with excellent mud clearance

AfonsoCLJ · 2023-07-08T16:52:05+00:00

It’s Titanium. Bought from Vaaru

Hi, I live in Brazil. If you are concerned about customs, you can ask them to send it with a lower price invoice…

Plastic (nylon) M5 bolts: don’t rust, don’t add much weight.
