Road: Karang Rim | Mooro Cycles

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.

The Karang Rim Endurance model is supplied with double-butted CWSR Grade 9 titanium tubing, a No.6 Composites carbon fork with a tapered steerer (1.25-1.125 in), a 44mm head tube, T47 threaded bottom bracket and 3D-printed dropouts to suit a 10 x 130mm quick release axle. We offer a choice of finishes so that buyers can create their perfect road bike.

Frame finish

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.
