Why not offer one in a more toned down finish? Grey or Nude?

White/Nude will be the second option:

Will this frame use the existing EBB or a special one?
MSRP on frame?
Gotta start selling stuff now!
Awesome.

Yeah, I knew that...and would prefer white over the orange, but just think a more subdued look would be killer. Dark grey (in lieu of the orange or white), or not paint at all  |

Raw carbon would be about the best look for a SS IMO. Ya know, keepin' it simple.
I rember, back in the day, when I possed what it took to justify such a rig.

After watching the vid, I was left with the impression that you can swapp out the bb insert for a ebb, plugg the cable holes and remove the hanger for a super clean SS.

Yes it can, it'll run BB90, BB30, standard BB, SS, geared, all by switching inserts or dropouts.
I'm very keen to see a firm price for this, ballpark numbers are out there but they vary wildly. |

I love the fit and looks of it with the rigid niner fork.
Are they making a 22" frame?

Looks like the Silverado and if it is, it isn't comfy to me :| although I gave it a good try and gained some good sores because of it - I'll stick to either the RocketV or PureV.

That IS my next bike, I've already started getting parts together for a 14lb. SS build. Come on March!!! I may be sanding off all of the paint for looks and if some weight comes off then so be it.

More intersting to me than price is what the warranty is going to look like.
I'd also like to know when physics are going to eventually limit the weight of these superlight rigs.
Are we going to see a 10lb SS someday? 12lb geared and suspended? Lighter?

We are still waiting on a mold charge for the magnesium head tube badge we are working on (with internal shifter cable routing through it) which is the hold up on us announcing the price.
The pic below is a prototype plastic SLA model - the production version will be very clean looking.
Thanks for all the nice comments guys!

Am I wrong to assume that this frame is going to come with fork options?
