Eros
Handcrafted in Denver Colorado
A vertically compliant titanium frame with lateral rigidity. Forgiving on the body, but with the strength to propel you forward with conviction.
The Eros is a perfect example of never settling for good enough. It was our very first bike, but we’ve never stopped improving and finessing it. Made with strong, graceful titanium, it excels at everything from climbs and dirt roads, to long-distance randonneuring and sharp mountain descents. We designed the Eros to be vertically compliant while maintaining lateral rigidity, and to be forgiving on the body while propelling you with conviction with every stroke of the pedal. S-bends on the seat and chain stays distinguish its classy, subtle design while tapered down tube and top tube add to its sleek look.
Frameset Features
// Proprietary Alchemy USA-Made Titanium
The first frame Alchemy produced was titanium, and it immediately received accolades and awards. That didn’t mean we rested on our laurels though. Over the years, we have continued to develop and refine our titanium bikes. Five years ago, we took a giant step and did what few in our industry dared to do: we created our own proprietary USA-made titanium tubing. It’s the reason we have been able to stay one step ahead of the competition, and the reason why Alchemy continues to produce titanium bikes that are heads-and-tails superior to other bikes on the market.
// Oversize and Shaped Top and Down Tubes
Take a close look at an Chiron frame…do you see the unique profile and oversize shape of the top and down tubes? Do you see the way the down tube flares, seamlessly flowing into the bottom bracket? This of course helps create a visually-stunning Alchemy bike, but there is also science behind the art. The oversize tubes and proprietary shapes create a bike which is stiff but comfortable, compliant yet responsive, fast and capable, yet easy to handle in the most demanding conditions. It’s the reason why Alchemy continues to earn accolades for making the best titanium bikes in the business.
// Natural or Painted Ti Options
Alchemy continues to be one of the few companies in the world that is able to paint titanium. At our Ethic paint studio, housed inside Alchemy headquarters, we have obsessively perfected the process of painting titanium to both create a unique and durable frame. And we can do custom paint as well… perfectly designed to meet your creative imagination.
