The Escapade UK853 was a limited edition, UK-made version of the Escapade using Reynolds 853 steel, with the frame and fork built in Britain. It used a 44mm head tube, shaving a little weight over the integral head tube on the standard (Taiwan) version, and the industry-standard 142x12 rear thru axle to match the 12x100 front fork. Built around Cotic's Ultra Compact Geometry.
Finishes: Cirrus.
