They made bombproof MTB and jump frames back in the day, I had a Metalhead which was hands down, my favourite bike... they were a bit like David Carson’s design work, as in, everyone copied them, hence them making another frame called The Bandwagon... had a big following over here and had one or two Brit teams that used their frames for racing... not too sure what happened to them after that as I stopped riding MTB. I like what they’ve done with their new cross/gravel frame, but kinda looks like everything else, but with salmon pink paint

Artisan innit.
Anyone have the entire story on Spooky?
My impression/ understanding is that they were one builder “Frank the welder” that was east coast industry disruption alu frames with a good reputation and small following that faded maybe more due to boredom as opposed to lack of sales.
Then the brand got bought to be revived / get blessing from previous creators /save on marketing and get the free good-will of being an underground frame maker and launch a gravel-bike. Seems off brand to following this fad that is gravel bikes...
