New Frame Production
I have been working on some new production frames,
for several years.
There is quite a list for me, to proceed my journey in this direction
– But above all, a returning question on “What do you ride?”
And I must admit, that I have never ridden any of the models, that I have sold in the shop (well, except for the Müli cargobike, that I use everyday for the kids)
So this is my step to bring in some bikes in my own design,
that I would actually love to ride myself!
And next year the shop is turning 15years,
so I guess it’s about god damn time…
And this fall I recived my second RASCAL sample frames,
and besides of some minor adjustments, it’s all,
that I have dreamt of.
BUT – there is a loong way from sample frames to production,
so I’m gonna need your help to realize this dream!
Please reach out to me at kontakt@hrvelo.dk
if you could be up for a pre-order. I will need to gather quite a stack of money to make this happen.
Else it’s also a very big help, if you follow and share the project
with friends, family, strangers and on social media
Thank you for the read!
Wish you all the best!
Kind regards Magnus / Hr. Vélo
What is RASCAL?
Rascal is my take on a modern
do-it-all bike, leaning towards a monster
gravel-mtb’ish bike.
I come from the mountainbike and dirt scene, and I used to ride all the time, when I was younger.
Still today, most of my friendships origin from that time.
I don’t think we will do the same kind of crazy riding again,
but with the Rascal, I
wanted to make a bike, that could make me feel that way again.
A bike I could build up and cruise around town, but also a bike
that was fun enough to play around and hit the local trails with.
So wether you build it up to run single tracks
in the forrest, dress it up as a donky and go bikepacking
or build the dadbike to rule them all – The RASCAL got you!
Rascal is made of 4130 chromoly steel tubing,
produced in Taiwan.
In the first production only the seat tube will be butted – so it’s not gonna be the lightest bike on the marked…
The design is ofcause a tribute to the old Klunker-style,
that I personally really love, obviously..
It’s designed to run max 622-60 tires without mudguards
or 622-50 with mudguards.
(As a max)
BB is BSA threaded 68mm
Seatpost clamp is ø34.9
Seatpost is ø30.9
The headtube is 50mm
for 44mm headset
and the steer on the fork is tapered for 40mm race crown.
There is not many affordable headsets in this size on the marked, so I’m hoping to be able to run a small headset production together with the frames. Else you would have to go Wolftooth, CK, White Industries…
Sliding Rocker Dropouts
I have designed the Rascal is with sliding “Rocker Dropouts”
with open seat stay on the right side to accomodate
the option of Gates Belt Drive.
The Rocker dropouts comes in two versions:
Thru Axle 12×142
or std 10×135
With this design, the bike can be build with:
Internal gears with chain or belt drive
Singlespeed with chain or belt drive
External gears with chain
Fork is thru axle 12×100 only
Internal Dropper Routing
The Rascal has a slot to run an internal dropper post routing
on the back of the seatpost.
(I think this hidden design is the nicest solution)
(Frames will be supplied with inserts for both dropper and no dropper)
Lots of mounting options…
There will be threaded holes for most of your desires:
Rear rack, mudguards, basket, rack…
I think it’s gonna be possible to mount a kickstand with a top plate
in the rear triangle, but it’s a religious thing, on a bike like this, NOT to
design it with a kickstand plate – also if you want a short wheelbase, kickstand plate is a no go…
Thanks for reading!
If you have any questions or want to be noticed when I open up for pre-order please drop me an email at

Full geometry chart will follow
Also my wife designed the logo for the headtube badge,
looks really cool imo!!
Kind regards
