No one will ever know.

The container with these frames unloads today!

I am very excited for Jeff at BI to get them photoed and on bikeisland site.

sizes are 49, 53, 56, 59, 62
colors are Black, Orange, Silver, Blue AND Chrome Plated

With very nice fork - they are going to be $199 in paint as intro price
and the Chrome Plated will be $249

frame and fork have WTF spacing so that tires at least 40c can be used [probably could go a bit wide]. Of course, you can still run 23c or 25c - no problem.

Jeff will have pictures better than mine

Sorry
My photos bite
and do not do the frame justice

That looks awesome.

Hey bikesdirect, is there threading for a fender mount on the chainstay bridge?

bikesdirect_com

YES
there should be
the samples had that on both bridges

bionnaki

will it be possible to order just the chrome fork?

M__E

This is seriously the best news i've had in a while ;-) any idea if it has a threaded or threadless fork?

omsbythedozen

yeah man threaded or unthreaded fork? plus, what size for the setpost. definately getting a chrome plated

peabodypride

Can't wait to see the chrome plated!!!! You are going to sell a ton! I am "in the market" for a SScross bike but unfortunately broke!

Damn, that chrome-plated bike is very appealing for $249, suh-weeeeet!

really cool that headset is included! and i love the built in tensioners

I think there's a small typo on the frame geometry chart. 507 doesn't seem like the right top tube for a 59cm frame. Did they mean 597?

Other than that, it's the frame of my dreams.

A track frame that I can put a rack, fenders, and fat tires on.

I ordered a plain jane black. I guess I can cancel my Performance Bike SSR now (although for $170 frame/fork, I'm still having a hard time doing so).

bikesdirect_com

Thanks
Jeff decided to add headset and have price reflect included HS

I will ask him to post more pictures in a gallery
as the detail of these frames is really nice and hard to see from BI single pictures

bikesdirect_com

Close Ups - so that details can be seen

I can not wait to see posts of how these get built up

stussy2k

whats going to be the cost for shipping to canada?

bikesdirect_com

I do not know how Jeff handles that
and payment is the real issue -

please email jeff at bikeisland

my guess is UPS to most areas in Canada is $100 or so

rhino18

Damn.....those are sweet.

So ****ing nice! That's going to sell like hotcakes. If I was in the market for an ssfg commuter/ ld road bike I'd be all up over that.
