The legendary Provincial rises to new heights with the 233. The Columbus Spirit steel frame is stronger, with thinner tubing than other steel alloys, it allows a much lighter build without sacrificing ride quality or durability. The 233 does away with the need for a front derailleur, and instead opts for the simple elegance and versatility of a SRAM Rival 1x11 set up. Hydraulic brakes provide outstanding power and keep braking consistent through gritty winters, cyclocross pits, or long summers of riding. Light, stiff EA SL70 hoops are true performers that won't weigh you down on hills or buckle under the rigours of cyclocross. To tie this build together, a EA70 cockpit and svelte Fabric are pretty much guaranteed to get universal nods of approval.
