BOTW: IF Corvid (Now with Kung-Fu Belt Drive action!)
There’s something to be said about machines that are utilitarian and beautiul.
There’s also something to be said about bucking a status quo in order to acheive both of those traits.
Enter the Belt Drive Corvid, by our friends at IF. Sure, chain-driven bikes are the driving force behind human-powered locomotion, but let’s be honest: chains are greasy and can be a pain. Short of using one of these, a belt drive is an elegant and easy solution for the single speed bike.
This IF Corvid is a beautiful meld of carbon and shiny red bits (hello Chris King hubs!). This bad boy was custom built to order a little over 6 weeks ago by one of our customers. We worked with him to spec it out perfectly so that he could have exactly what he wanted. There you have it.
Hi Doug,
depends on the system. with the king hub that we put on the corvid, we should be able to swap for standard shimano. we can certainly build up a new wheel with a hub designed specifically for shimano. If you’re interested in having this done, stop by or drop us a line!
