OVERVIEW

A year round bike need to be one that encourages, inspires and excites. The Layhams is designed for these very purposes – whatever the weather or conditions, it’s ride will get you out of the door. Traditionally, a classic winter bike hails from the lower echelons, but as your go-to bike for a huge amount of hours in the saddle, we feel that you deserve better.
Stainless steel resists the worst that any winter can throw at it, whilst offering enough comfort to allow you to come back for more in the days that follow, without numbing any of the sensations that make getting out there into the lanes so engaging. With room for 28mm tyres plus full mudguards, it will weather any climate – year round, and protect you from the elements on the longest of rides. No Audax too far, no winter group ride too long.
Triple butted Precipitation Hardening Stainless Steel, the 17-4PH / Carpenter Custom 630 chemistry tube set is used from tip to toe on the Layhams, with full mechanical and Di2 compatible cable routing. Like the palace, we favoured external cabling for mechanical gearing to ease on-the-fly maintenance and lubrication, but when fitting Di2 or other electronic groupsets, we wanted clean lines, so we developed the removable cable routing system that leaves no bosses in place when running a digital rather than analogue set up.
Without guards, 30mm plus tyres fit within the frame, and through long drop calipers, and a 27.2 seat tube size continues the long distance comfort compatibility. It’s simply no more than you deserve.

THREADED BOTTOM BRACKET

All Bowman frames use a threaded bottom bracket. Super easy to fit at home with a single tool, they are a very reliable system. All major crank and component manufacturers have a crank that will fit straight out of the box and without the need for adapters.

The English threaded bottom bracket is the perfect, solid and reliable option

EXTERNAL CABLE ROUTING

The Layhams has been designed to run sectioned, external cable routing for both the brakes and the gears when built with mechanical shifting groupsets. Our focus was ease of set up, use and maintenance for the home mechanic.
External cabling allows more direct cable runs, reducing opportunity for friction in the braking and gear systems - maximising performance.
By reducing the number of holes in the frames tubes, you can also minimise wall thickness to help reduce frame weight.

WHAT SIZE FRAME SHOULD I RIDE?

Getting a bike that’s fits is a vital, yet often underrated part of the whole cycling experience. Riding the correct size bike can, not only, make the difference between winning and losing but a poorly sized frame can ruin the ride itself with back and joint pain.

We would always recommend getting good fitting advice from someone who’s opinion you trust, possibly a professional fitter who will be able to interpret our geometry data to determine what size is best for you. We're always happy to help with sizing advice and comparing geometries.

Each person has a preferred riding style and bike set-up so nothing is set in stone when it comes to sizing. The chart below shows a guide for which size of Bowman frame we recommend based purely on height and inseam.
