Manufacturer link: Foes
Now available in either 26, 27.5 or 29 inch versions! From Mountain Bike Action magazine's May 2012 Shaver review: “The Foes Shaver is made in Pasadena California, and built without compromise: combine dialed geometry, amazing rigidity at both axels, Fox suspension, & what do you think will happen? Magic. It is pure bliss. An excellent choice. Plenty of riders want (a bike) that is still made in America, but don’t buy the Foes Shaver because of its citizenship; buy it because it is a great trail bike. It is a blast to ride.” All new from Foes Racing for 2012 is the 100% made-in-USA Shaver Ultra Trail. Starting with a clean screen and an itch for a new ride, they designed this bike for the trail rider who is looking for adjustability, dependability, and a fun, comfortable ride. Locating their pivot design precisely in conjunction with the progressive shock linkage was just the ticket… and in so doing, they created a bike that climbs and soaks up small bumps like no other, while handling the big stuff like it’s small stubble. Shaver… it’s how you say Ultra Smooth. The rear shock is a Fox RP23 and the travel is adjustable from 5.25 t0 5.75 inches. The rear axel requires a 12mm X 142mm hub.

Manufacturer link: Lynskey Performance
We would like to introduce you to the Lynskey race-tuned Helix Technology tubeset. Designing a bicycle frame is a study in stress management and as engineers, this has been the passion of the Lynskey family for over 25 years. Different forces occur when braking, accelerating, climbing and decending. The challenge was to create a tubeset that best handles all of these various force vectors and create a harmonious balance between them with minimal compromise. No longer do you have to sacrifice handling or performance for weight savings. Never before has there been a tubeset that delivers a comparable ratio of stiffness, weight and durability, IN ANY MATERIAL! How it works: box-shaped tubes are best for resisting side-to-side flexing forces. Round-shaped tubes are best for resisting twisting forces. Only helix-shaped tubes combine round and box-section design elements to do it all! We also offer all of the current build kits and promo deals listed on the Lynskey website for the same prices, and as with all of our bikes, assembly is included. FREE 48-contiguous state USA shipping!

Manufacturer link: Moots
The Vamoots RSL is the lightest weight, and laterally stiffest riding Moots made to date. It is built with a new internally double-butted tubeset for lighter weight while maintaining a full-size outer diameter for a 12% increase in stiffness and a 15% reduction in weight. new micro-diameter seamless 6/4 titanium seatstays provide a lightweight, responsive ride feel. The oversize (30.9 mm diameter seatpost size) seat tube is extra stiff and strong. The press-fit BB30 bottom bracket shell decreases q-factor (the distance between your feet while riding) by 8mm, adding comfort and efficiency to the drive system. The BB30 design also increases crank stiffness by 38 percent, for a more responsive, higher-performance frame. Please contact us by phone or e-mail to discuss pricing on frames and on build kit parts upgrades, or to place an order.

Manufacturer link: Bianchi
What is a Bianchi Classica? It is our made-up name for a type of bike that we have been selling a lot of lately: a Bianchi Celeste cromoly steel frame built with a current year Campagnolo component group. Which frame do we start with? Usually it is a 2012 Vigorelli (as shown) but by request, it could also be a 2011 Imola (in the same Celeste color but with white panels) or almost any other steel Bianchi model that we have on hand or can order. The key items are the classic Bianchi look with modern steel tecnology and ride performance along with any level of Campagnolo components.
