Yes, there is now a version 2.0 of the Velo Routier frame. The low-trail geometry, braze-ons and the tubing specifications of V.1 remain the same. We are making the following minor changes:
  • increasing the rear axle dropout spacing from 130mm to 132.5mm to allow the more commonly available 135mm hubs and wheels sets to be fitted.
  • instead of vertical, the Velo Routier 2.0 will have adjustable horizontal rear drop outs which will allow for internal hub and fixed-gear builds.
  • the front fork crown will now have an underside 5mm threaded fitting to allow fenders to be attached to the crown directly.
  • the indent diameter of the chainstay and the clearance of the seatstays wil be increased from 52mm to 56mm to allow for wider fenders and tires.
  • Colour: French Tricolour Blue
The Velo Routier 2.0 continues to be our all purpose frame. Designed with classic French low trail geometry to fit 32-to-42mm wide 650B tires with fenders, the Velo Routier 2.0 is smooth and fast on pavement but comfortable when the road turns to gravel or dirt. There are braze-ons for a front handlebar bag rack, low rider panniers and a rear rack for light touring. Two bottle water mount mounts and frame pump pegs on the seat stays. The frame is full 4130 Cro-mo throughout TIG welded with a main triangle of double butted tubing and stays. The fork is Cro-mo with a wide clearance cast crown.

The bosses on our VR frame will fit all regular long-reach center-pull brakes (typically 63-75 mm), Weinmann, Diacompe, and Mafac.

The Rene Herse brakes are compatible with our VR1 and VR2 Frames
https://www.renehersecycles.com/shop/components/brakes/centerpull-brakes/ will work. Dia-Compe GC700 may work based on the reach we don't have any customer confirmation.

They need the DIA-COMPE Center-Pull To Braze-On Assembly Kit to make it work. The kit comes with replacement springs for Weinmann and DiaCompe brakes. Mafac brakes only need the plates and reuse the existing springs.
