man that is cool, I am never lucky enough to live anywhere that has some cool places to ride. Well I take that back I was stationed in Colorado for a few years.
I am buidling my second dissent I will post pictures of both when Im done.
Yep, considering a second one too. A one by nine and a totally different set up. My justification to the wife will be that I need to get some use out of the rear derailleur threaded dropout I bought when I picked mine up. Think she will take the bait?
christ on a crutch, man. that was quick. but then again, i have no idea how long it takes to cut/weld a frame.
i expect you'll have the Fe built up and tested by noon then?
one of the many benefits of being a Banal Empire over a simple company.
often times it is enough to simply think of an idea.
if i had a dollar for every time a Russian School (girl) showed up at the front door unannounced...

Ah jeez just when I thought I was ready to decide or not
if the price differential doesn't phase you, then believe it or not the decision will get easier real soon.
that RAW 19 beside the (Fe) is the LAST unpaid RAW 19 for 60-90 days.
there are only 6 black 19's left (again 60-90 days).
17 (medium) inventory isn't much better.
delivery on the (Fe) could be 30 days for the GP (unless the pre-sale exceeds first run).
pricing and tubing details will be confirmed after Sea Otter.
Edit: (current is True Temper and 900 usd)

What is a medium FE frame weighing it at? How do you like the ride difference over the AL frames you have? I was thinking about building up another SIR9 but this has peaked my interest.

4lb 5.8oz for the LARGE.
it will be a week or three before i weigh a MEDIUM.
suffice it to say, less then that.
the tubing is true temper plat OX and true temper Verus HT for the chain stays (top tube aircraft 4130).
the ride difference is still being established, but, any deviance (aside from possible improvement) won't be tolerated.
from an attribute and digitary standpoint...the ride looks like we may be able to improve on perfection.
Twice the price and twice the bike. I would then have to assume that twice the fun? More pictures and close ups please. There are some greenbacks at my bank screaming for liberation!
So as we spoke the other day I really want to run a geared 2nd bike and love my Al dissent so much that I liked to keep my allegence to the EMPIRE! I want this true Temper in Gears please make it work Nogearshere PLEASE! I really don't want to give my money to some noname noface company....
the Empire is enjoying this project, with some trepidation (see below). the diSSent (Al) will remain the go-to frame and will stay a very viable class leading monstrosity...at no time should the Fe and Al be considered interchangeable...same pedigree, different markets.
that said;
acquisitions and permutations are being set forth for immediate consideration... dissent-fe-tt.jpg
a press release on the actuals will follow.
it's something our PR department said we should do, to make us more popular with the not-so-main-stream kids.
i'll try to get to that while I am traveling first class on the LearPsycle to CA.
essentially;
choice of 3+- powder coat colours (gloss black, matt black and regular black - black black was suggested but the redundancy was stupidly dumb).
initially, 2 sizes ONLY Medium/Large (only ones with testing completed)
first batch of 10 is being booked (unofficially now) but will be public later today (only 5 spots remaining).
Delivery May 15+-
subsequent batches will be comprised of production based numbers and inventoried...based on sales.
if necessary a waiting list will be established and rolled into the first release - guaranteeing all that want, will get.
***basically if you are thinking maybe, step up, we have powerful friends that can look after you***

Man never fails, I am always behind the curve! Just when you think you have the best the best gets better!! Nice job Peter, I will have to wear the AL one out 1st, unless one of these magically gets misplaced in the box when you ship mine to Germany next month
I'm still in the growing ranks of the unemployed up here in Canada; getting one of the True North Misfits seriously has me considering a life of petty crime. Alternatively, I suppose I could hit up teenager hot spots collecting their empties...
I don't know who to thank, Peter or Hugh, but that Misfit(Fe) is the real MoFo deal!
I just got back from the SeaOtter and got to throw my leg over one. Its the first and only 29er that ever felt right??? Took a few hits on the Dirt jumps and a few laps of the pump track. The thing even flew well with the unconventional bars? I know thats not its intended purpose but it flat out ripped. It was cool shooting the **** with ya Peter. Oh ya, the proto looks killer too. Nice weather, fun bikes and good people.........rock on.
