Sweating The Details
Every line, edge and surface has a purpose.
Whether it’s the diamond-chamfer edge of our lugs or the subtle directional hand-grained textures we work into each component before frame assembly, each CIRCA frame is a deep story balancing form, function and process.

LASER GRAPHICS
Our custom laser graphics options can inspire, tell a story or celebrate your brand. Work with our designers or provide your own artwork.
Geometry: Two Fit Options
Standard and Short-Reach
For sizing and to optimize the fit of your CIRCA, we offer 2 geometry types: Standard and Short-Reach. We think of it as Quick Custom. There’s no extra charge for either option.
Our Standard geometry works for about 90% of riders with typical proportions. The Short-Reach variation pulls in the cockpit a little to accommodate riders with shorter torsos or who may want a more upright position.
![Geometry Illus 2024 web](https://ridecirca.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/Geometry-Illus-2024-web.png)
Standard Geometry
Best for riders with typical proportions who have no problems fitting stock geometries.
Short Reach Geometry
Riders who have long legs compared to their overall height (and a shorter torso) may prefer the fit of our Short Reach geometries. This fit can also suit riders who want a more upright position.
