Nature Boy Frame Instructions www.allcitycycles.com
RETAILER: This framesheet MUST BE provided to the end user.
Congratulations on probably the best decision you’ve ever made in your life. Ever. Yep, the Nature Boy is that
good. Our venerable singlespeed cyclocross racer blends our own custom A.C.E tubing with a Columbus
Futura Cross carbon fork to provide the best performance possible whether you’re between the tape on the
weekend or out training during the week. It features our signature thru-axle singlespeed dropouts and
a healthy 700c x 42mm tire clearance with plenty of room for mud to pass through.
When you get it built up, feel free to send over some pics. We always enjoy that.
Cheers, AC

Care and Maintenance
Keep your frame clean. Dirt and road grime lead to oxidation and fading of the finish, and they make it hard
to do a thorough inspection. Dirt will accelerate any abrasion of the paint that comes from rubbing, such
as places where the cable housing touches the frame. In extreme cases, this type of abrasion could remove
frame material.
When your bicycle is not being ridden, store it where it will be protected from rain, snow, sun, etc.
Rain or snow may cause the metal on your frame to corrode. We recommend applying Problem Solver
Frame Saver to the inside of the tubes before the frame is assembled into a bike.
If your bicycle was exposed to moisture during a ride, thoroughly dry the bicycle before storing it. If water
got inside the frame, tilt the bicycle to drain the water. If necessary, remove the seatpost and turn the bicycle
upside down. This is especially critical if there is a large amount of water inside. If water freezes inside your
frame, the expansion of the ice can crack and rupture the structure.
Before storing your bicycle for an extended period of time, clean and lubricate the frame with a frame wax,
polish, or protectant. Do not store the bicycle near electric motors, as ozone from motors destroys paint.
Before riding the bicycle again, follow the pre-ride checklist to be certain it is in good working order.
Inspection
Before every ride carefully inspect your frame for signs of fatigue. If any frame part shows signs of damage
or fatigue, consult your dealer or replace the frame before riding the bicycle.
WARNING: An improperly modified frame, fork, or component can cause you to lose control and fall.
NEVER MODIFY YOUR FRAMESET.
WARNING: Improper installation of bolts may lead to product failure, causing serious injury. Do not
exceed specified torque values. Periodically inspect bolts and retighten if required.
WARNING: Attaching incompatible clamping devices to a fork can lead to fork breakage, causing
a loss of control. If you are not sure if a device is compatible, consult your dealer.
Serial Number
Write it down now! Seriously. It’s important if your bike is stolen or for questions about your frame. The number
is stamped into the bottom of the bottom bracket shell.
