Bandersnatch green

2013 NEW Vassago Bandersnatch - The BanderSnatch is a gear-specific, race ready 29er, at a price the wife will never even notice. Every inch of the new Bandersnatch has been refined and optimized to accentuate that magical carpet ride of a good steel frame. New curved rear stays enhance the vertical compliance while maintaining lateral stiffess for optimum performance, and every tube has been hand selected for each different frame size. The latest improvements to the BanderSnatch include the forward-set seat tube allowing more mud clearance for various derailleurs and big fat tires, post mount rear disk brakes, "SupaFly" cold cast dropouts, and a 44mm headtube to allow the use of the new crop of tapered forks.

Pivot LES Shown Single Speed (Nude W/Blue Accent)

2013 NEW Pivot LES Carbon Hardtail 29er - There are some days when the race just demands something a little (or a lot) more rigid. We know that weight matters and that the pursuit of the win is often based on having the lightest, fastest machine possible. Pivot is introducing something exciting and different, yet still uniquely Pivot: A Pivot without a pivot. With the all new full carbon Pivot Les 29er they’ve created a frame that offers the complete package: A balance of frame stiffness, tuned compliance and straight up performance (and we look good doing it too).

The Swinger System adds versatility to your bike X2. The included high modulus carbon dropout features our 12 x 142mm through axle design while the optional Swinger adjustable system allows single speed riders the simplicity of a vertical dropout design with quick click indexed adjustable chain tensioning. For single speed riders this is a revelation in simplicity and pure functionality. So, for those wanting to go fast with gears or without, the new Pivot Les offers you the ultimate ultra lightweight go fast tool in a high performance race package like only Pivot can provide. Once again Pivot is “PERFORMANCE REDEFINED” with the all new Pivot Les.
• Pivot exclusive hollow box, high-compression internal molding technology allows for greater compaction and smoother internal walls resulting in a lighter, stronger, highly optimized, ride tuned frame design.
• Included full carbon molded 12mm X 142mm dropouts with replaceable hanger for geared applications.
• Optional Patent Pending Swinger adjustable dropout system provides quick, consistent, indexed chain adjustments for single speed use along with fast wheel changes and no change in brake adjustments.  This kit is designed to utilize your 135mm QR or bolt-on wheel.
• Full internal shift cable routing with under bottom bracket access port design for hassle free installation.
• Tapered 1.5” headtube, Press Fit 92mm wide bottom bracket, and direct mount front derailleur simplify set up and maximize stiffness.

Pivot LES Shown Geared (Solar Orange)
Surly Ogre (29 " frame & fork set)
Meet Ogre, Troll’s bigger-wheel brother. Troll and Ogre offer the same ability to accommodate a wide array of drivetrains, brakes, and cargo-hauling accessories. The main difference is that Ogre runs on 29" wheels, the Troll on 26".

Built of 4130 CroMoly steel and based on the tried-and-true geometry of the venerable Karate Monkey, Ogre is designed to be a platform for exploration, commuting, trailer-pulling, on-road and off-road touring, and just riding along. Both frames feature gusseted sloping toptubes, Surly Trip Guides for running full shift and brake housing, mounts for linear-pull and disc brakes, and ample room between the stays for high-volume rubber…up to about 2.5".

Ogre comes with a suspension-corrected (80mm) fork. It features mid-blade eyelets and low-blade barrel bosses for mounting front racks. We provide canti pivots and disc brake mounts, so you can choose a system that best suits your stopping needs. And it’s specifically designed to allow the use of a fender, disc brake, and front rack at the same time. Yep, you read that right.



Surly Ogre (29er Frame & Fork. Green or Black)
$575 (free shipping)
Select Size     

Surly Ogre

Like the fork, the rear end allows all-at-once rack, fender and disc compatibility. Spaced for 135mm hubs, the ‘dropouts’ are just like Troll’s…rear load horizontals with a derailleur hanger, slotted disc brake mounts, M10 x 1mm threaded holes for mounting Surly Bill & Ted trailer-connecting hardware (or B.O.B. Nutz), and a dedicated anchoring point for a Rohloff OEM2 axle plate. Available in sizes 16, 18, 20, 22 and supergiant 24". Tall folks, we got your back.

Weight:
Frame: 20" = 2.7kg (5lb 15oz); Fork (uncut): 1.2kg (2lbs 10oz)
(Steertube Uncut, No Pedals)

2013 Salsa El Mariachi (black shown above)
The El Mariachi has garnered rave reviews since it was first introduced in 2007. It’s proven geometry and premium ride quality have inspired new devotees to the 29’er movement. Now featuring Salsa's Alternator dropout, the El Mariachi remains capable of both geared and single speed setups. The Alternator makes proper chain tensioning a snap while allowing hassle free quick-release wheel removal. Salsa's new Kung Fu tubing dramatically increases frame strength while preserving low weight and a killer ride quality.
