Prolly will they all have the brake mounts on the fork and the braze ons on the top tube? That is is the only part of this frame that I'm not feeling.

He already answered it.
There aren't any braze ons on the frame. Brake mounts will be optional.

wow! i'm definitely gonna get the MKE now.

prolly do you have any idea how long it'll take for frames to get to people once they order them/paint/etc? maybe this question was already answered....

i'm really excited about this frame to come out! plus the glo paint options are pretty rad as well.

It rides like a legit track bike. Very quick cockpit, lighter than the gangsta track, stiffer and just all around a fucking solid bike. It sprints and skids like my merckx.

Hey prolly got a question for you

how do those large tires ride compared to 19 or 23.

I want to try bigger tires for the tricks but fear they will be heavy and slow when commuting.

where is his build list? whats the max tire size it will accept? I have a big tax return coming I need to get rid of.

i got on it last night and even though prolly's bike is huge, it rides amazingly. doesn't feel like a bastardized track bike with a huge fork (like mine). also, and i'm sure the size has something to do with it, but there's a shitload of toe clearance which is nice, and he has 32c tires on there.

Hands down fucking buying that shit.
Fuck debt.

crap! definitely buying a MKE now after seeing that build. fucking sweeet!

Quick break down...

I built it with:
Miche BB
Sugino 75s
MKE Stout
KMC Cool Light chain
Thomson XO 0* 80mm
Thomson setback
Easton OS bars
Stolen Grips
Odyssey Twisted PCs
Dimension clips
MKS NJS Doubles
36H Profile Hubs fix/fix to Sun Ringle 0* XC
Conti Contact 32c tires [awesome]

Not sure on the overall weight although it less heavy than the Gangsta. The fork's wider than most "track forks" and in combination with the steep HTA, makes a super responsive front cockpit. 180's are easier to throw and as Chris said, the overlap is minimal. I can pretty much barspin whenever. It's partially to do with the frame size, but a lot to do with how we designed these bikes.

Rider - designed bikes. Not by some dudes who have no idea what they're doing. We knew what we wanted and what hadn't been done before and it turned out great.

NOT SURE when / how much / etc they'll be released. Soon though ok?
