Built for Adventure
Designed for long days in the saddle, the Vagus has a compliance-oriented design and slightly more upright position to increase comfort and reduce fatigue. A full compliment of bottle and luggage bosses on the frame and fork make it that much easier to carry everything that you might need. The long front center and relaxed head tube angle help to keep the bike stable and confident on- and off-road, loaded or unencumbered.
With internal routing for mechanical or electronic drivetrains as well as stealth dropper posts, the Vagus can be tailored to your needs, preferences, and goals. The future-proof T47 threaded bottom bracket is joined by 12x100mm and 12x142mm thru axles, and flat-mount brake bosses front and rear. Designed with versatility in mind, the Vagus can accommodate 700c tires up to 43mm wide and 650B/27.5in tires up to 2.1in or 52mm wide.

FAQs
Do you offer custom builds on your frames?
Absolutely! Our stock builds are just where we feel like we can offer the best balance of price and performance. But we all have our fit, color, or brand preferences and we love tailoring bicycles to their new owners' needs. Contact us to learn more.
How do I buy one?
Well, you’re in the right place! We primarily sell J.Guillem frames direct to consumers. Part of that’s our location: not everyone is able to travel to New Mexico. We also know that not every shop can be expected to carry smaller brands- if you want something unique and special chances are it won’t be in stock around the corner.
We do love bike shops, though! If you are a bike shop or have one you’d like to work with on your build, please contact us and we’ll work hard to make it happen.
My size or option is out of stock!
Don't sweat! Drop us a line and we'll get what you're looking for or find an appropriate substitution. With the exception of wheels, most things are one to three days away.
How are bikes built and shipped?
We work with a local pro shop on all of our complete bike builds. They have loads of experience with frame-up builds and see even the rarest drivetrains and most niche parts on a regular basis. This way you can be confident that your bicycle will be built by a professional mechanic and test ridden before being packed and shipped via FedEx.
How long will it take?
Because each build is tailored to you, in-stock sizes and options take two to four business days to build. As soon as your order is placed we'll reach out with a ship date.
Do you have a warranty?
Every Chiru Endurance Bicycles frame is built to provide performance that lasts and is backed by a lifetime warranty against defects in materials and workmanship.
