The Sterling Frame
Glossy Black
Let’s start out with the Sterling frame. This frame is made from Seamless 4130 Japanese chromoly tubing with a 75-degree head tube angle, 69-degree seat tube angle, 11.5″ bottom bracket height, a 9″ stand over height and a 13.4″ chain stay length. You can find a heat-treated, CNC machined integrated head tube with an extended height to reduce the number of spacers with an uncut fork, gussets on the top and down tubes with a “WTP” logo, a single-butted top tube, a double-butted down tube, a CNC machined and heat-treated MID bottom bracket, a wide rear triangle to fit 2.40″ tires, unique end caps on the seat and chain stays to match the fork (see below), CNC machined and heat-treated 6mm thick drop outs that will fit flush with most pegs with extra sink details, a low-profile integrated seat post clamp and removeable brake mounts.

You can find gussets on the top and down tubes with the “WTP” logo. The head tube is CNC machined and heat-treated. It’s also extended to help reduce the number of spacers needed for an uncut fork.
