Karang rim with gloss anodised gold logos

Karang with with painted fork, stem, and seatpost

Overview

The Karang Rim is a classic road-going chassis that offers the owner the best of what titanium has to offer: a bike that manages to float over any road surface while maintaining the electrifying responsiveness of a racing thoroughbred.

The Karang takes its name from the Noongar term for 'passion'. It is the perfect match for any rider that has a deep passion for road cycling, and in this guise, the simplicity of rim brakes.

At the heart of this frame is Reynolds 3Al/2.5V internally double-butted titanium tubing for the front triangle anchored by a 44 mm head tube and an oversized T47 threaded bottom bracket.

The Karang Rim is supplied with a No.6 Composites carbon fork with a tapered steerer (1.5-1.125 in). Mooro offers a wide range of options including custom frame geometry, personalised artwork, so that buyers can create their perfect road bike.

Custom geometry

If you fall in between our standard sizes, or our "+ size" (10mm longer head tube) does not suit you, the Karang Rim can be custom-built* to meet your specific requirements, including custom head tube lengths (100-250 mm in 1 mm increments).

For the best result, we recommend working with an experienced bike-fitter** to obtain optimised fit data. This data will form the basis of the frame design, which we will then personalise to meet your performance and handling requirements.

**We can refer you to a local (Perth-based) bike-fitter, or, you can supply the data from your preferred fitter.

Frame finish

For complete details on all of our finishes, including images and prices, please visit finishing options.

The Karang Rim can be finished in one of two ways:

1. Bead-blasted: this is the classic finish for any titanium frame that shows of the raw beauty of this metal. Customers opting for a bead-blasted frame have a choice of five finishes for our Mooro logos:

Brushed: A semi-polished finish that provides a subtle contrast to a raw frame.
One of seven anodised colours with a satin finish*: bronze | purple |ocean blue | sky blue | gold | pink | turquoise | green.
One of seven anodised colours with a gloss finish*: bronze | purple |ocean blue | sky blue | gold | pink | turquoise | green.
Two-colour anodised fade with a satin finish*: bronze-purple | ocean blue-sky blue | gold-pink | pink-turquoise | turquoise-green
Two-colour anodised fade with a gloss finish*: bronze-purple | ocean blue-sky blue | gold-pink | pink-turquoise | turquoise-green

2. Painted: we can paint your frame in any combination of two colours*, one for the frame and one for the logos. Customers opting for two-colour paint also have a choice of a matte or full-gloss finish in one of two schemes:

Raw rear-end: harking back to the early days of frame painting, this scheme covers the front triangle of the frame and leaves the dropouts and majority of the stays in a raw state.
Raw chainstays: this scheme covers the front triangle and extends most of the length of the seatstays but leaves the majority of the chainstays and the dropouts in a raw state.

Bead-blasted frames*

Customers that elect to have Rohin custom paint their frame can also commission him to create an artwork that matches the theme of the frame. Final cost of this option will depend upon the size of the commissioned artwork.
