• The mtn GOAT. Its getting properly 'launched' at NAHBS, but the idea was to build us bikes that would could use for full weekend 'adventure' (sorry) riding. Being slow, slightly technical and muddy terrain in the middle of nowhere speaks to us both, as we can hide our lack of pace behind 'really experiencing the trails'. They're covered in bosses for everything cages etc, and we've also designed a rigid fork, slightly lower a to c from the bouncy one it's designed with, to tighten angles a bit and allow for more mile munching.

  • pls say:

    • progressive geometry // slack HT steep ST
    • big triangle space for framebag
    • dropper routing options that work with a framebag and don't look ugly without
    • threaded BB
    • bottle cage mounts under the DT
    • frameset price sub £1k
  • You were so close, then you got to the price ;)

    The bike above is the smallest model, we have tried to make the front triangle as big as is possible for frame bags, and there are 4 bottle bosses to allow various high or low positions for cages (including anything cages).

    Geo yes exactly, rigid fork and more saddle offset tightens it up for longer distance.

    Dropper routing is frame bag compliant.

    Frame is designed around either T47 for thread fans, or PF30 bb. The of option is to allow for use of a rohloff, it comes with poly drops as standard so you can chop and change whatever config you want.

    There are :
    4 x bottle cage mounts on dt
    2 x bottle cage mounts on st
    2 x bottle cage mounts on each seat stay
    3 x bottle(anything) cage mounts on each fork leg.
    Price is tbc but will be similar to all seasons in all liklihood. We may do another batch for these, but that is not guaranteed. If we did then it would be closer to a grand, but deffo not below. Because we use named tubes and paragon parts on the frames I can't see us ever getting near that tbh.
