Beautiful Paint

April 24th, 2008 David

Alana’s singlespeed 29er frame has one of the nicest paint jobs to come out of here for a while. Alana gets all the credit however, as it is her design. The letters and design are masked in rich, wet paint – the paint job is stunning when you look at it up close. The frame is True Temper OX Platinum, disc specific, with an eccentric bottom bracket. The build includes a Pace carbon fiber rigid fork, Hayes brakes, Shimano XTR crank and handbuilt wheels using XTR hubs.

Toronto Bike Show Sneak Peak!

March 4th, 2008 David

Here is a sneak peak at one of the bikes we will be showing at the Toronto International Bike Show. The bike is a 29er hardtail with a handmade OX Platinum frame, eccentric bottom bracket and a gusseted down tube. The frame can be run as a single speed or a geared bike, and is built around the Pace (now DT Swiss!) RC-29 S80 80mm fork. Currently the bike is build with a full XT build including the new shadow rear deailleur and the soon to be available XT level Shimano 29er wheels. The bike is finished of with a FSA K-Force seatpost and bar, FSA OS-115 stem and an SLR saddle. The tires are the 29er Hutchinson Pythons, run tubeless. The bike will be seeing duty over the summer as a demo bike, before heading off to BC to race in the BC bike race under David Dermont.
