Hewitt Alpine
The Hewitt Alpine is our custom built Audax frame, and can be built exactly as you wish, not just a choice of the frame dimensions, but a full choice of tubing types and braze-ons.
As is our usual way of doing things, the position is determined first, from this we can determine some provisional frame dimensions that will allow the position to be achieved. These are fine tuned by Andy, our frame builder in addition Andy will also suggest some frame tube diameters to give the desired ride quality and characteristics.

Frame dimensions, tubing type and diameters can be specified, as can the various braze-ons, jointing method etc. etc. In short, we will try as much as possible to build the frame exactly as you want.
