Introducing the Mettle Cyclocross Bike... Start Drooling





We introduce to you the Mettle. 

The 2014 Milwaukee Bicycle Company Mettle. A true cyclocross race bike.


The USA made Mettle frame features a full OX Platinum tubeset as our original cross frame; but has a larger diameter top and down tubes for increased stiffness. Add a new tapered head tube for the stiffest, strongest carbon forks, and you have a bike that rides like steel with near stiffness of aluminum. 


We re-designed the Mettle to have a tapered head tube.



The Mettle features a thin stainless
 steel plate to protect the frame from the rotor during wheel changes.
