Geometry
The A30's geometry was designed to be fast, responsive and stable. The front end geometry has a similar road feel to our A10 pure race bike. To account for the longer axle to crown length (so we can fit bigger tyres) we reduced head tube lengths so that stack and reach match up across the road range.
To allow for greater tyre clearance out the back we lengthened the chain stays to 420mm to keep agile handling and allow for the flexibility of running larger tyres.

Joe Whittingham –
I have about 4000km on my SERK A30, and I’m in love. Sure, I own faster bikes, I own lighter bikes and I own stiffer bikes… but I don’t know if I own a “better” bike.
The SERK A30 has such a spritely feeling. The frame seems perfectly tuned to my Z2 power / torque. It seems to have just the right levels of compliance and stiffness at Z2 power that those long Z2 rides that I’m doing these days just feel so nice. Doing long Z2 rides on an Allez Sprint or an all-out carbon race bike always feels like driving a Ferrari through the McDonald’s drivethrough… it’s just not right.
The A30 is also a beautiful bike. The small details all over the frame keep your eyes wondering and make it very instagram friendly.
The value depends on how you look at it. Compared to western brands; it’s a bargain, but compared to Chinese brands, it’s not cheap. Anyway, Titanium lasts forever so it’s as much of an investment than anything… or… at least that’s what I told the wife.
I knocked off one star for being a bit heavy. But I guess that’s like criticising an NBA player for being too tall… Titanium frames simply can’t compete with carbon in terms of weight.
