Things are moving a bit slow, but still moving. Because it's not feasible for us to paint every frame ourselves or having someone else in Norway to do it, we're trying to get the sample batch painted in the same city as the frame factory in China. My paint connection is good, but has no experience with bikes or titanium, so this is a bit of a test. We've encountered some problems on the first frame with the adhesion of the masking decals, resulting in some bleed. Anyway, matte black on Ti looks good, so hope the issues are sorted for the other frames.
Since I'm upgrading my prototype to one from the sample run with the new geo, I also ordered a new fork with the correct A-C. The Pike was a 29+ because when I ordered they said the 29/27.5+ didn't exist anymore. So the fork was 551 when the frame was designed for 530. Anyway, I got the Fox Factory Step Cast 34 and it looks the business! I cut it and put it on yesterday and first impression is really, really good. Can't wait to take it out on the trails.
