It All Started with a Fork

Before launching Pine Cycles, founder Kevin McClelland played a key role in the design of the ENVE Adventure Fork while serving as ENVE’s Framebuilder Sales Manager. Created to meet the needs of custom builders around the world and to lay the groundwork for his own future frame. The Adventure Fork became the benchmark gravel fork.

Five years on, it remains at the forefront of the category, with class-leading tire clearance and its innovative flip-chip dropout system. With the launch of the FRST, Kevin brings the story full circle with a design that began with a fork has now evolved into the bike he always intended to build.

Design Origins

The FRST was born from thousands of miles spent on trails and gravel roads across the West. From the rolling singletrack of the Bonneville Shoreline Trail, to the steep terrain of Tiger Mountain, to long-haul bikepacking races like the Dark Divide and The Big Lonely.

Those miles shaped the FRST into a bike that could seamlessly weave singletrack into a gravel ride while remaining fast, efficient, and responsive on long days in the saddle. It is that vision realized – a bike built to expand what gravel riding can be.

Tabula UDH Dropouts

The new Tabula UDH Dropouts offer modern drivetrain compatibility while preserving a slim, elegant profile, low weight, and perfectly symmetrical chainstays. Developed in collaboration with RatKing Frames and proudly machined in the USA by Forager Cycles, the Tabula Dropouts are an extension of Pine’s commitment to innovation, craftsmanship, and versatility.

Endlessly Capable

The FRST is our vision of a gravel bike without boundaries – endlessly capable, elegantly simple, and ready for whatever road or trail lies ahead. Whether linking local singletrack, chasing podiums, or embarking on bikepacking ultras, the FRST is designed to be the one bike that can do it all.
