Pragma Gravel Breaker Racing/Adventure Frame Kit
Good afternoon Harley,
WOW, what a surprise to get a call from the guards saying I had a delivery – thought it was a small Lazada package I’d ordered.
Couldn’t believe how light the frame is (even boxed), how amazingly well packaged it is (bagged, ends protected, seat post stopper, bubble wrapped and then protection all over. Arrived without any marks or scrapes on the box so the usual fantastic DHL delivery quality. I just held the fork in with a strop for the foto’s. If you want a better quality foto with a white background up against a wall, I can arrange that for you.
Am I happy – you bet!!

How to order a Pragma Gravel Breaker in November 2020.
1. Email me durianriders@gmail.com so we can talk size, parts, riding style, and paint design. Price will vary from depending on paint and shipping.
2. Pragma frame kits are a high end custom product and due to COVID delays you will receive your frame in 1-3 months depending on paint design and position in the cue. All Pragma frames are shipped with tracking numbers via the reliable couriers from EMS /DHL. You might not hear from me for a while but it doesn't mean I have forgotten about you ;)
3. Comes with seat post, fork, seat clamp, headset and rear derailleur hanger. (I can't source long plugs at the moment so recommend you buy a 80mm Neco steerer plug IF you want to run spacers above your stem.
These Neco steerer plugs for carbon steerers in 80mm also work great and are well priced.
You don't get this level of customer support from any online seller. I want to make sure we get you the right size and paint design so you can build up your DREAM BIKE and get fit AF!
It really baffles me why people buy carbon parts from random sellers online. I put in 3 months of homework before I found a reliable factory to work with. I got lucky with help from an ex Specialized employee who gave me a massive lead on where to get my frames from. I put in the work so you don't have to.
This photo below is what sort of quality you might get from ebay/aliexpress sellers...Imagine if this fork failed going over a gutter at speed. That is why I don't ride no name product, unproven product or product that is counterfeit, cheap from ebay etc.
The following are testimonials from happy riders all over the globe! We ship via DHL Express so your frame gets there safe and sound.
'Harley,
WHY PAY MORE?? SERIOUSLY WHY PAY MORE?
My frames ride as good as $7000 frame sets. I know because Ive ridden both!
I have owned / ridden so many high end carbon bikes out there. Im the biggest bike geek I know. I LIVE cycling. Ive never even had a drivers license because I prefer to ride vs drive.
These frames are as good as anything out there BUT you don't pay for all the marketing hype, sponsored riders, company taxes, staff etc that bicycle brands have to pay. These are PROVEN designs vs some latest product that has not paid its due on the trails out there. Latest is NOT the greatest. The greatest is the PROVEN designs in my experiences. Look how many high end brands have fork recalls because even though it passed QC it didnt pass REAL WORLD TESTING which takes years really.

The Pragma Gravel Breaker has a BSA bottom bracket for user serviceable ease and a 27.2mm seat post so you don't have any aftermarket sourcing issues should you smash up a seat post out on tour sometime.
Headset that comes with the Pragma Gravel Breaker is a 1-1/8" to 1-1/2" IS42-IS52 45/45 degree like a Chris King dropset 2.
Things to know. I can pretty much do any design you want. If you have an elaborate custom paint job you want then send it to me. It might be an extra 50 -150USD or it might not be. I will check with my factory and get back to you.
Specs: Flat mount disc brakes compatible.
50mm tire clearance (depending on what brand of tire and rim you are using)
Bottle/rack mounts on fork as standard but if you want just a normal fork that can be arranged. Same price for either.
27.2mm seat post comes with each order
Thru axles come with each order. 12x100 up front and 12/142mm rear.
BSA English type BB for durability and ease of removal/installation.

Things to know!
* Ive shipped to USA, Australia, Germany, Belgium, Israel, Canada, New Zealand, Japan and Brazil. Frames are shipped via DHL express.
*Please don't leave your bike parked in the sun or the back of a car. Even though the paint is very high quality and UV protected the sun can still damage carbon that is just baking in the sun. This is especially true for Australian conditions where the ozone layer is dangerously low. Australian customers please keep this in mind more. Ive seen a carbon wheel explode the tire off the rim because the owner parked the bike in the sun after a race.
*Please use torque wrenches on all carbon product and don't place carbon bikes in bike stands as the clamp can crack your seat post, top tube or seat tube.
*I don't recommend using ANY carbon bikes in trainers. Doesn't matter what brand it WILL damage your drop outs over time if you are putting out decent watts. Use magnetic resistance rollers instead as they offer better pedalling technique promotion and are more fun to use. Yes they require more skill but if Ruby Issac (google her) can use rollers then so can you! :)
*NEVER ride a bike with a carbon steerer that has such a shallow steerer plug that it does NOT go past the bottom stem bolt. You are just asking for trouble. Good headsets are made by FSA, Ritchey, Cane Creek, Chris King etc. Just use the longer Colnago plug and you will be sorted. These Neco steerer plugs for carbon steerers in 80mm also work great and are well priced.
*NEVER clamp a carbon bike or carbon seat post in a work stand. I hang my bikes or clamp the seat itself. Carbon is strong but clamping can crush it pretty easily.
