No. 22 Drifter Adventure Custom Build & Later Review
“No. 22 Bicycle Company was born out of a desire to strike equilibrium between enjoyment and performance.” – No. 22 Bicycle Company
“We build bicycles for the rider who appreciates perfectly tuned ride quality as much as stiffness and low weight—the rider who loves to ride for riding’s sake. Our point of departure is frame material: we fell in love with the ride of titanium and named our company after it. We then took to the task of sweating details of fit and finish. Our frames are based on carefully considered geometries and tubing profiles. We use the highest grades of titanium tubing available, build our frames in our own production facility in the United States with our veteran craftsmen, and confidently back them with our ten year warranty.”
No. 22 Bicycles Drifter Adventure
“Starting with our award-winning Drifter, the Drifter Adventure is for riders seeking more. Additional tire clearance and compatibility for 1X drivetrains only allows the Drifter Adventure to run larger tires to take your adventures further off the beaten path.”
“A bevy of standard mounts—seat tube, top of down tube, underside of down tube, bento, rack, fender and dynamo—let you bring more with you. Subtly revised handling allows the Drifter Adventure to make the most of its capability with good on-road manners, and poise when trails get rough.”

In this video, JOM of the Gravel Cyclist crew presents his latest build collaboration project, ultimately culminating in a long-term review of the No. 22 Bicycles Drifter Adventure Frameset, etc. Also part of this collaboration and later review, SRAM’s latest and greatest groupset, Red XPLR AXS 13-Speed, intended specifically for the rigors of gravelly road cycling, and Zipp’s wild and crazy, 303 XPLR SW Ultra-Wide Wheelset.
JOM’s review frameset highlights the finishing options that No. 22 are so well known for. A combination of titanium finishes featuring Cerakote, polishing, and brushed. So beautiful.
