Winner of multiple accolades including the NAHBS People's Choice award, the Drifter is a bike designed for riders needing a capable bike on any road. With generous clearance for up to 45mm tires front and rear (or 50mm on 650B wheels), disc brakes with standard thru-axles and any-road capable geometry, the Drifter is the most versatile bike in our lineup.
The Drifter is a bike with stable, balanced handling through high speed gravel corners, but with quick enough responses to be ridden aggressively on-road.
"I stared at the headtube for a full 10 minutes trying to find even a hint of a bad weld, a tiny deviation in the bead, an ugly lump or some discoloration. … The ride quality is outstanding. Paired with the 35mm Schwalbe tires, I felt like I was floating over all but the gnarliest terrain. … It’s a rolling statement of taste. I was stopped at least once every ride by someone who wanted to admire the frame."
The Drifter includes as standard what most builders charge extra for. Every Drifter includes:
- Fully butted tubeset, butted in-house by CNC
- Oversized head tube with integrated bearings for tapered carbon forks
- Brushed and blasted frame graphics, with no decals or stickers
- Ten year warranty against manufacturing defects
- T47 threaded oversized bottom bracket shell
- Full carbon No. 22 fork designed specifically for our frames
- Generous clearance for 700x45mm or 650x50mm tires
- Thru axles front and rear
The Drifter is available with our optional 3D printed titanium stem allowing for fully internal cables with electronic drivetrains. This option includes the bespoke stem, specifically designed head tube and our own Ti headset enabling cables to travel internally through the handlebar, stem, fork, headset and frame.

All No. 22 frames are finished completely in-house, and are available in a broad range of finish options from classic Raw, to colorful Anodized, to stunning Cerakote and Anodized combinations.
Every No. 22 frame comes with our Raw finish as standard. We never use stickers or decals for our graphics: the raw finish uses a mix of polished and blasted graphics to show off titanium's natural lustre in a timeless, durable way. Frames with Raw graphics include all of the same graphic details as our anodized finishes, but without the color.
Our models span many types of riding and often have talents bridging from one area to another. Our Discipline Chart helps explain which models are best for your particular riding.
