Sportive

Sportive frames are designed in a similar vein to that of a road race frame, with a little less importance placed on the perfomance and bit more importance placed on the durability and comfort. Consequently sportive frames tend to be designed along the lines of a road frame but with a raised head tube. This raised head tube may, or may not be what a particular person needs, that would in our opinion, be determined more by the riders proportions than the use to which the frame is going to be put.
