The Earth Seed is a manifestation of our famed Earth Ship gravel racer with extra standover height and twin lateral top tubes. It is a pure performance race bike built with lightweight steel tubing, Paragon Machine Works frame parts, and is fillet brazed in our Minneapolis workshop. It was designed around our tapered steerer Waypoint fork which is among the lightest out there and tuned for compliance. Fast, comfortable, and stylish are the Earth Seed’s design goals.

You’ll find a full suite of features that include:

• Three pack mounts on top and bottom of downtube, bottle mount on top tube
• Fender mounts

• Clearance for 700 X 50c or 650b X 2.2" tires 

GEOMETRY
Gravel race geo with all-day comfort and bump absorption at the forefront. The tall stack, a slightly lowered bottom bracket, and generous stays yield an unbelievably smooth ride and inspire confidence when descending fast over loose terrain. Fairly traditional head tube and seat tube angles keep everything quick and maneuverable. 

Columbus Life for the down and seat tubes, 4130 chromoly for the twin lateral top tubes and Columbus Zona stays.  The dropouts, bottom bracket, braze-ons, and tapered headtube are from Paragon Machine Works.
