Ascent Builds - Intrepid Mini Velo - Shimano Metrea

A unique all-road mini velo, with a twist. Eschewing the typical flat or drop bars, this build has the rare Shimano Metrea groupset and bullhorn bars.
We searched the world for the right parts - Metrea shifters from the USA, the proprietary Shimano bullhorn bars from Germany. Even if we wanted to, it would be almost impossible to make another just like it.

I’m impressed that Metrea works with 105 r7000.

ancient group set. shocking there still exist.

Interesting bike! Do you know why the decision was made for the R7000 crankset instead of the Metrea crankset? Do you sell frameset only to USA?

[@ascentbikes]

The R7000 crankset was available at that time. It was hard enough finding the shifters and handlebar because the groupset had been discontinued. Yes, we sell the framesets and ship to the US. Please contact us on our website for more information.

@@ascentbikes thanks for the answer! I have access to the crankset and shifter and just found the bars this morning :O

I'm looking for metrea bar end shifters now, bullhorn with hydro

[@ascentbikes]

You should be able to find them, but the bullhorn bars for Metrea are the issue. Can't find them anywhere anymore.

Are you do shipping to USA.? Thanks 🙏

[@ascentbikes]

Hello, we do ship to USA. Please drop us an email on our website!

Hi how cn i get this metrea shifters with installation for the same Bike model in Singapore?

[@ascentbikes]

Hello! I think they're out of stock - have been discontinued. You may find some shops selling them on clearance. The bigger issue is the bullhorn bar - it requires bullhorns with 30mm diameter instead of the standard 24. As far as I know, only Shimano makes them, and they have been discontinued as well.

[@horologyenthusiast8523]

@@ascentbikes Aww man, thank you for the reply!

[@happyted6142]

How much does it cost ?

[@ascentbikes]

Sorry man, can't buy it anymore - the Metrea-specific handlebars are out of production and nearly impossible to find.

[@Pnst2828]

日本でも売って欲しいな！！

[@nur.firman]

Harganya berapa ya

[@ascentbikes]

Sorry, we cannot build this anymore, as the Metrea has been discontinued. However, a Flat Bar Intrepid is about 2269 Singapore Dollars (as of the time of this comment)
