Frames have landed.... yes, blue pigs can fly.

Click the pics for some nice detail. You may have to tilt your head, I wanna make sure you're paying attention! :)

Let's mix it up a bit.

mmmBop.

Two flavors. Non-photoshopped, i'm not computer-literate enough to know how to use that stuff. Sorry, light kept changing throughout the shoot, but hey, we tried :) The shade of Blue is very accurate, but the Green is harder to capture... the shade is very close to the kawasaki green made famous by Santa Cruz Bicycles (my other, other ride) - needless to say, if you want the green, don't worry, it's a REALLY nice shade of green according to the few who've seen it up close.

I'm pretty impressed, it's hard enough to buy a frame with the head tube faced...

... and these frames have BOTH the bottom bracket AND the disc brake mounts faced, too! Taking off all that excess paint allows a consistently flat surface to mount your headset, bottom bracket and disc brake adaptor.

Just look at how much the light was changing! Just remember, first two pics are the most accurate color-wise! :)

Some angled shots of the right chainstay - the three finger design gives LOTS of clearance!

Spring!

Need a spring but can't seem to find the right one?

We offer springs in both Steel and Ti, in regular and oversized. Rockshox Vivid and Cane Creek users, we've got your 38mm internal diameter needs covered.

What's the difference between a Ti spring and a Steel spring?
There are 3 main differences: Weight, Longevity, Cost.

A Ti spring weighs less (usually up to 50% less than a steel spring), which could save about half a pound depending on what type of shock you use and the length of the spring.

A Ti spring outlasts a Steel spring in use... Titanium simply has a longer fatigue life, so where a steel spring may go dead (hey, it happens to cars, too), you'll still be happily riding along on a Ti spring.

A Ti spring costs more than a Steel spring, but you get what you pay for - maximum performance, minimum weight.

So the question's been asked - if I wanted to save weight, why not just use an air shock? The best air shocks have come pretty close to getting that plush coil feel, but you can still tell the difference. I can still tell the difference in feel between my Rock Shox Revelation Dual Air 2009 and my Marzocchi Z1 FR 2003... and the Z1 is WAY smoother!

So whether you want to go Steel or Ti, we should have the size you need... Need information on how to measure your shock?
