Custom Steel Perfection: Scarab's Updated Páramo Gets Bigger and Bolder

Colombian custom bike builder Scarab Cycles has elevated its highly regarded Páramo gravel platform, introducing the updated Páramo Integrated model. Positioned as the quintessential all-rounder, this handmade steel frame now boasts modern features that cater to everything from fast-paced gravel racing to rugged backcountry bikepacking. Through a thoughtful redesign of the chainstays and seatstays, the new frame now comfortably clears tires up to 50mm, a significant upgrade for riders seeking more capability and comfort on varied terrain. The inclusion of a T47 bottom bracket and a UDH (Universal Derailleur Hanger) brings the frameset squarely into the modern era, offering a secure, creak-free foundation and compatibility with the latest drivetrains, like SRAM's new 13-speed XPLR groupsets.

Handcrafted in Colombia from a size-specific mix of premium Columbus Spirit and Life steel tubing, the Páramo Integrated is built for a responsive and compliant ride. Starting at $3,850 for a frameset, each bike is a fully custom endeavor, including bespoke geometry, an ENVE Integrated Gravel fork, and a Wolf Tooth headset for a sleek, cable-free cockpit. One of Scarab's biggest draws is their artistry, showcased in stunning paint schemes. Debuting at the Enve Builder Round-Up, the new "Tropical Cliché" finish—an homage to the Chocó Jungle— exemplifies their incredible detail work. For those seeking the pinnacle of custom steel gravel performance with a truly unique aesthetic, the updated Páramo Integrated presents a compelling and versatile option.
