Our point of departure was frame material—we quickly landed on titanium and named our company after it. We paired this material with geometries complementary to its characteristics resulting in
hand-built, clean-lined and contemporary interpretations of classic configurations. No back-breaking aggressive ergonomics, no gimmicky construction techniques. We’ve chosen instead to finesse what has been time and ride proven to result in bikes that make the destination second to the journey.

The Bike- The Great Divide
No. 22 Bicycle Company was founded in Toronto, Canada in the spring of 2012.
The Bike- The Great Divide
Running through the Rocky Mountains in both Canada and the United States, the Great Divide is home to some of the most challenging and beautiful roads of North America. Our new namesake frame shares this cross-border connection having been designed in Canada and hand-built in the USA to tackle any length and pitch of road.
The Great Divide has been designed to showcase the best
The Great Divide has been designed to showcase the best
characteristics of titanium while embracing the latest developments in frame design. Swaged chain stays and an oversized, bi-ovalized down tube are bridged by a PressFit 30 bottom bracket shell to provide stiffness and instant responsiveness under power. An oversized head tube accommodates the latest tapered forks while strengthening the bike’s front end for confidence-inspiring steering precision and cornering stability. Tempering these characteristics are a svelte seat tube and seat stays designed to keep the velvety ride quality that titanium is legendary for.
Taking the Great Divide from paper to the shop floor starts with the selection of the highest quality 3Al-2.5V aerospace grade titanium tubing, sourced from American mills. All applicable tubing is then double- or triple-butted by hand, varying wall thickness for each main tube in each size of frame. The tubing is then precisely shaped, mitered and welded by some of the most experienced titanium craftsmen in the industry.
The anodized graphics adorning the Great Divide frame deserve special mention. Using a process unique to titanium, our graphics are formed by electrically changing the structure of the titanium’s surface layer. Using no paints or dyes, the result is a supremely durable and corrosion resistant finish that beautifully contrasts the raw luster of bead-blasted titanium.
What makes titanium the ideal material for the Great Divide? A well-designed titanium frame strikes the perfect balance of low weight, smooth ride quality, and remarkable durability. 3Al-2.5V titanium offers a strength-to-weight ratio far better than aluminum or steel, which allows us to achieve more frame stiffness with less material. What makes titanium the stuff of framebuilding legend, however, is the material’s ability to soak up bumps and chatter in the road. A great titanium frame keeps you feeling fresh in the saddle even after long hours, but with none of the overdamped, wooden ride quality of comfort-oriented carbon frames.
The Great Divide is sold as a frameset paired with parts from the most respected American brands in the industry. A Chris King Inset 8 headset, full carbon fibre fork with a tapered steerer tube and a Thomson seat post collar set the tone for your build.
