Your Resolution Shimano
THE LATEST EVOLUTION OF OUR UNIQUE MASON RESOLUTION, WITH CONFIGURABLE SHIMANO BUILD OPTIONS
We are excited to introduce the latest version of our modern classic steel All-Road bicycle. Crafted by highly experienced Italian makers, the Resolution uses modern design thinking and proven MASON geometry, combined with the latest, progressive features and custom Columbus steel tubing. The Resolution delivers a fast smooth ride, along with confidence-inspiring, dependable, all-season, long-distance performance, across a wide range of surfaces.
"If you’re looking for a versatile steel road bike that’s a joy to spend long days on..the Mason Resolution will not leave you disappointed." | Bike Radar.
Whilst the Definition utilises the unique (and often ignored) qualities of aluminium, the Resolution was about tapping into the many benefits of steel. Steel has legendary qualities for performance bike frames, its elastic properties lend life and feel to the ride and its excellent fatigue properties mean that with proper corrosion protection, the frame will last a very long time.
After working with many frame-building materials over the years, we became really interested in developing a performance steel frame when Columbus introduced their beautiful ’Spirit’ and ‘Life’ tube sets. Combining these tubes with modern componentry and progressive geometry was the formula for something very special.
The Columbus ’Niobium Doped’ alloy that is used to produce the Spirit and Life tubing really makes this an exciting material to use for a lightweight, performance bike. Their fine-grained, micro-alloyed steel allows wall dimensions as low as 0.4mm, giving really low weights along with high fatigue resistance and excellent welding qualities.
There's so much thinking and neat detailing in our products that it's really impossible to tell you all about it here. There's further information, including sizing advice, in the 'TECHNICAL INFO' section below, or If you would like to find out more, or book a test-ride, please CONTACT US HERE.

This page gives you some guidelines based on rider height, but these are only a starting point for a proper bike fitting. There are of course many other factors to consider when choosing the right size for you and sizing advice will vary depending on your choice of model from the Mason range and the way that you intend to ride it. We're always here to help of course and would always recommend a professional bike fitting and visiting us for a ride on the Mason Cycles riverside gravel/country lanes test-loop if you can. There is further advice, based on specific models, below the height chart.
Fitting a bike to a rider is an important process, this information is a start to the process but it’s not really possible to give 100% accurate fitting instructions online.
Humans are odd shapes, each person’s physical dimensions: arm, torso, femur length, level of flexibility, skill level and intended model usage are very different. This means that there will invariably be different frame size requirements, even for people of the same height and inseam.
SIZING ADVICE BASED ON MASON MODELS
ROAD, ALL-ROAD & GRAVEL - Aspect | Resolution | Definition | SLR | BokehTi | Bokeh | Exposure: Size range is 48cm to 62cm depending on specific model. The chart dimensions show the extremes of useable frame size based on height and the rider size range is very similar for all our frames with 6 or 8 standard sizes.
ULTIMATE ADVENTURE - InSearchOf: Size range is 42cm to 58cm [5 sizes]. As a start point, we would recommend selecting one size down from your normal 'road' frame size. For example, if you would normally ride a 54cm then a 50cm InSearchOf is probably best for you.
MTB, TRAIL/TRAVEL - RAW: Size range is Sml to XL [4 sizes]. With the advent of modern, more progressive mountain bike geometry, the sizing process is even more fluid. The Mason RAW is no different: seat tube lengths are kept deliberately low so riders have a certain amount of flexibility in choosing size based on their preferred reach, wheelbase, handling characteristics and intended use. For instance, for high speed and loaded up stability you may prefer a larger frame that will also provide more pack space in the front triangle. Or, if you are spending most of your time on twisty woodland singletrack, you’d benefit from the shorter wheelbase and extra response of the smaller frame.
We are experienced in sizing and geometry, so of course we will be on the end of the phone or email to help and advise, but we would always recommend having a proper bike fit done before committing, especially if you feel like you may be between sizes. If you do fall between our frame sizes, it’s probably best to go with the smaller size. It’s easier to make a smaller frame fit a little larger than vice versa.
CONFIGURATION: With all models, you can use our drop down menus to configure your finishing kit to suit your needs, including which brake lever operates front/rear wheel and for MTB we’re happy to cut down the handlebar to your desired width.
Please email us here or call 01273 463000 if you have further requirements that you would like to discuss, we are always happy to help.
![](/tech_contents/2/EN.png?1480698060)
EN Tested
All our frames and forks complete the brutal strength and fatigue testing to comply fully with EN regulations. They are pushed, pulled, dropped and twisted over 100,000 times and must survive without any damage before they can pass.
It's not law that frames and forks have to be tested to their limits like this, but our frames will always be tested in this way, so you can be sure that your MASON frame not only looks beautiful with a ride quality to match, but it is tough, safe and dependable too.
![](/tech_contents/1/MultiPort.png?1480698180)
Multiport
Our frames use an adaptable, internal cable routing system. Developed by us to allow your Mason frame to be used with a combination of control systems and adapt and evolve with your requirements and riding styles. We were the first to bring this type of system to a performance steel frame and now use this system across our range. Interchangeable alloy parts allow five options:
1. Full cable outer. 2. Hydraulic Hose. 3. Split outer. 4. Electronic cable [e.g. Shimano Di2]. 5. 2 x Hose/cable or Hose/Dynamo wire 6. Blank.
![](/tech_contents/3/TaperHeadtube.png?1480698193)
Taper Head Tubes
Our frames use modern 1-1/8” - 1.5” taper head tubes. Pioneered by composite frames, the taper head tube makes huge sense for metal frames too;
The large overall diameter provides a useful weld area. The fully integrated headset is light and has a very low stack-height. Large 1.5” lower bearing, mated to a tapered carbon fork steerer, spreads the load and gives flex-free braking and instant response to steering input.
![](/tech_contents/4/BSA.png?1480698204)
Threaded Bottom Brackets
We choose a more traditional 68mm, BSA, threaded standard for our AdventureSport frames because we believe it gives greater durability and creak-free reliability over many miles. The threaded BB is easier to service using standard tools and you are more likely to find a replacement when adventuring far from home. A properly lubricated, threaded BB is also an ideal interface with a metal BB shell.
![](/tech_contents/6/HOURGLASS.png?1480698220)
Hourglass Stays
We tried many shapes before settling on this one, the wall thickness tapers from top to base and the perfect ‘hourglass’ profile gives a sublime, smooth ride with the added spring of steel keeping things lively. We add a custom bend at the base to work with the disc-rotor and calliper.
![](/tech_contents/8/Aperture2.png?1495118433)
Aperture2 Fork
Designed and tooled for by us and unique to MASON. This frame is fitted with our beautiful 'Aperture2' 365g, Ø12mm thru-axle/flat-mount, monocoque carbon fork.
Features: Mason F-Stop axle system including replaceable axle inserts, TrueTaper steerer, Internal Routing for Dynamo and brake-hose, Full mudguard clearance, space for 32mm tyres + 'guards [up to 35mm without 'guards, depending on rim/tyre spec] Custom layup UD carbon construction, discrete eyelets.
![](/tech_contents/10/COLUMBUS.png?1480699124)
Columbus Tubing
This frame is constructed from a unique blend of Columbus Spirit and Life tubing. Hand Selected, custom shaped, seamless, progressive butted, fine grain, niobium doped and joined with perfect Tig welds.
![](/tech_contents/11/272.png?1480699136)
27.2 Seat Post
Our oversize seat tubes don't house oversize seat posts. The large diameter seat tube helps the 'core-stability' of the frame but large, stiff seat posts don't help rider comfort. A 27.2mm post helps to dial out road-buzz and the smoother ride means you stay fresher for longer.
![](/tech_contents/12/SSINSERT.png?1480699145)
Stainless Steel Hanger and Wear Inserts
This frame uses high Chromium content, polished stainless steel gear-hanger and wear insert. The wear insert is more durable than standard steel and prevents wear to the dropout, your wheel stays secure and the part can be easily replaced. The hanger is stiff and accurate ensuring precise gear changes but is designed to fail under heavy impact, protecting your frame. It can also be easily replaced when worn or damaged.
![](/tech_contents/13/DBRAKES.png?1480699156)
Disc Brakes
This frame is designed for disc brakes. They work consistently in all conditions, pull up quicker in the wet, they don't grind your expensive rims into black sludge and in my experience they change the whole riding experience for the better, especially when coupled with modern disc-specific wheels and high-volume tyres. You’ll find yourself riding in a more confident, controlled, fluid and ultimately more efficient way.
![](/tech_contents/15/INTERNALROUTING.png?1480699176)
Internal Routing
We route the hoses and cables internally where practical, keeping the 'adventure nature' of our bicycles firmly in mind. For smoother runs and a cleaner aesthetic, all control cables, hoses and electronic shift control wires now run through the down tube, via the special BB shell and out through the chainstays, guided by our Mason 'MultiPort' adaptable inserts. Interchangeable Internal routing keeps the control cabling away from road dirt and grime, helps avoid accidental damage, makes cleaning easy, de-clutters your bike and means you can adapt your bike easily to work with various shifting and braking methods. For adventure and endurance riding, internal routing also has the advantage that it is easy to strap frame packs to the frame tubes without being hindered by external cabling and hoses.
![](/tech_contents/76/T47.png?1659004560)
T47
This frame features a stainless-steel T47 BB Shell which allows the brake hose and gear cables to be 100% internally routed through the frame tubing and exit through the chainstays to the rear mech and flat-mount brake caliper.
![](/tech_contents/16/INTHEADSET.png?1480699184)
Integrated Headset
Integrated, 41.8ø upper, 51.8ø lower, for taper head tube. Both bearings are ‘ACB’, meaning ‘Angular Contact Bearings’. The head-tube seat angle is 45º.
The headset drops into a tapered seat in the head tube and is tensioned using a headset tensioner within the fork steerer. Tensioning the headset centres it on the taper and prevents any play. The larger lower bearing allows a tapered steerer and larger crown. This gives sharper response, helps reduce flex under braking and spreads bearing load.
![](/tech_contents/24/ThruFlat.png?1495117416)
FlatMount Brake Calipers
Flat mount disc-brake callipers are lighter, neater, and open up more space within the dropout area for racks and ‘guards. The calliper is mounted to the dropout, allowing us to use a lighter, more comfortable seat-stay. Up front, the calliper is mounted directly to the fork [via the brake manufacturers adaptor] and offers a cleaner and more minimalist appearance and also provides a compact packaging of the brake caliper.
![](/tech_contents/26/CustomTubeset.png?1637935340)
Custom Tubeset
We choose each tube individually, considering the influence that it will have on ride quality and overall performance. We will use a blend of tubing types, custom shapes and bends to help us achieve this goal.
Modern metal frames draw on many of the design influences learnt from composite frames, such as oversized BB’s, taper head tubes and switchable internal routing. Teamed with our properly designed carbon-monocoque forks, the contemporary Aluminium, steel or Titanium frame is a formidable piece of kit.
![](/tech_contents/50/SwitchLever.png?1565799036)
Switchlever
This model uses SwitchLever Thru-Axles front and rear. This high quality axle system features a removable lever to be used with both axles. Store the lever in the front axle for quick use or remove completely for extra security and a clean, low-profile look.
![](/tech_contents/83/DedicatedDynamoRouting2.png?1705067919)
DEDICATED DYNAMO ROUTING
We often fit modern dynamo lighting and charging systems to our builds, so we have added dedicated dynamo cable routing ports to the top tube, using the space freed up by refining the cable routing. This important feature means that the cable is more easily routed between front and rear lights and gives alternative mounting points, either at the seatclamp or dropout, depending on rack and bag setup and requirements.
