We get a LOT of requests for tall head tubes; many cyclists want more comfort and to be a bit more upright

I designed the Gravity Zilla to be the 'do it all' bike in a customers assortment of bikes; put on 700x28 tires and do a century or MS150, put on 29x2.2 and mud it up or even change to flatbars for real mountain biking; put on 700x32 slicks and fenders for use as a commuter or even short touring; use the stock 700x45 for all around on&off road versitility; or even a CX race with 700x32 snobbies
If I can bring in the 27-speed at under $600 and the Apex 20-speed at under $800; I think it is a great all around bike

The Reynolds Steel [which can run SS or multi] and the Ti which will be matched with an insanely nice CF fork will both be over $1000 for complete 20-speed Sram setup. These will have the more traditional adventure bike / CX design is shorter headtube and flat TT
