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.

Sizing 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.

 

InBoard Disc-Mount

The calliper is mounted on the chain stay, this allows us to use lighter more comfortable seat-stays and gives a flex free mounting for the post-mount components to be welded to. Mounting the brake on the chain stay also keeps it cleanly out of the way of rack and ‘guard stays.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Essential Dimensions: Resolution/Definition/Aspect

BRAKING

Resolution Rotor Size: The fork can take a Ø140 or Ø160mm rotor [using adaptor], if you are using Shimano IceTech rotors then Ø140mm rotors either end are fine in normal use, although Shimano recommend Ø160 both ends for larger riders or extended long descents, especially when loaded. SRAM recommend Ø160mm front/rear. A Ø160mm up front is best if you are using cable braking. The Resolution2, with Thru-Axle front & rear will now accept a Ø160mm rotor on the rear. [140mm is the maximum recommended diameter for the V1 rear].

Resolution Caliper Type: Frames are fitted with the Flat-Mount front & rear (adaptable to post-mount with correct adapter). There are no clearance issues with modern Shimano or SRAM hydraulic systems or mechanical systems such as ‘TRP Spyre’. Some bulky systems like the ‘TRP HyRd’ may have compatibility issues on smaller size frames. Please contact us for advice if you are in doubt.

Resolution Flat-Mount Mounting Bolt Lengths: FRONT - 15mm. REAR - SRAM: 17mm. Shimano: 23mm.

Definition Rotor Size: The fork can take a Ø140 or Ø160mm rotor [using adaptor], if you are using Shimano IceTech rotors then Ø140mm rotors either end are fine in normal use, although Shimano recommend Ø160 both ends for larger riders or extended long descents, especially when loaded. SRAM recommend Ø160mm front/rear. A Ø160mm up front is best if you are using cable braking. 160mm is the maximum recommended diameter for the rear.

Definition Caliper Type: Frames are fitted with the flat-mount front and flat-mount rear. There are no clearance issues with modern Shimano systems or mechanical systems such as ‘TRP Spyre’. Some bulky systems like the ‘TRP HyRd’ may have compatibility issues on smaller size frames.

Definition Flat-Mount Mounting Bolt Lengths: FRONT - 15mm. REAR - SRAM: 22mm, using 2mm spacer under bolt head. Shimano: 28mm, using 2mm spacer under bolt head. Please contact us using the 'Technical' dropdown if you require further information regarding spacers and caliper mounting.

Aspect Rotor Size: The fork can take a Ø140 or Ø160mm rotor [using adaptor], if you are using Shimano IceTech rotors then Ø140mm rotors either end are fine in normal use, although Shimano recommend Ø160 both ends for larger riders or extended long descents, especially when loaded. SRAM recommend Ø160mm front/rear. A Ø160mm up front is best if you are using cable braking.

Aspect Caliper Type: Frames are fitted with the Flat-Mount front & rear (adaptable to post-mount with correct adapter). There are no clearance issues with modern Shimano or SRAM hydraulic systems or mechanical systems such as ‘TRP Spyre’. Some bulky systems like the ‘TRP HyRd’ may have compatibility issues on smaller size frames. Please contact us for advice if you are in doubt.

Aspect Flat-Mount Mounting Bolt Lengths: FRONT - 15mm. REAR - SRAM: 27mm. Shimano: 33mm.

Bolt lengths for mounting Flat-Mount brake calipers to our frames vary because of the different dropout designs and materials used across our range.

We always recommend using genuine hardware and consulting us directly using the 'Technical' dropdown, or using a qualified cycle mechanic if in doubt.

NOTE: Our frames are compatible with most modern disc-brake systems but may not be suitable for ALL brake callipers. Please check clearance before purchasing your braking system.
