Recently ordered custom MTB frameset forces me to part with the Gremlin. The story behind manufacturing this piece isn't clear, but it has many similarities to Rock Lobster Team Tig 853 indeed.
When you look closer you can see high quality welds, nicely shaped rear end tubes, Ritchey dropouts, seat clamp facing forward. I've never weighed the frame, but the bike always felt swifty, stable and responsive. I really liked the ride, just a few months back I comfortably completed South Downs Way on it.
