There’s nothing like your mates for keeping you grounded. “You’re not good enough to ride a gold bike!” was Rich’s only comment when I turned up to the ride on the ENVE Fray. Harsh, but fair really, although I’d argue that the shiny ‘Venom’ paint job is more green than yellow.
The Fray is ENVE’s all-road bike, sitting between the MOG gravel bike and the Melee road machine. All three bikes are only available in the UK as a ‘chassis’, which includes the stem, bars and seatpost (all from ENVE, naturally); however, in the US, you can buy just the frameset without the other components. Currently, the UK gets three colours as opposed to the seven available over the pond, although this may well change. Clearly, with so many colour options, the Fray has been a success for ENVE, which has used its extensive carbon know-how well in its succinct range of frames.
