Chapter2 release limited edition Tere frame to commemorate Stage 17 of the Tour de France

Fittingly only 17 of the frames have been made, with a stealthy black complemented by the famous yellow of the TDF leaders' jersey and stage information on the top tube and down tube.

"Celebrating the heritage of the worlds biggest and most iconic stage race", Chapter2 say they were inspired to make the frame because of the number of times the famous Col du Galibier climb, topping out at 2642m, has been a make or break section of le Tour.

While that wasn't necessarily the case today, with the yellow jersey of Chris Froome home safely and Primoz Roglic of Slovenia winning the stage (although Fabio Aru lost time and) you can't deny that it's an intriguing design that will stand out from the crowd. The frame has Kamm-Tail tube profiles and is made with Toray carbon fibre. Seen here with a Campagnolo Super Record groupset, the bike also has room for a Di2 insert in the seatpost to house an internal battery. 

The 17 special frames are individually hand painted and include a unique number on each to signify its rarity. If you want to own this slice of Tour history, they're available to order on the Chapter2 website for £2,019. 

Chapter2 was founded by Michael Pryde in 2017, who actually created NeilPryde bikes before going it alone under the Chapter2 name. The Tere is also available in the Essential version, basically stock colours, and then Limited Edition bikes are created every 6-8 months.
