Just caught this on the IMG Distribution blog, Sam Foakes has gone back to a simple double diamond design for his new signature frame that is in the prototype stage. This looks really awesome! More details to be announced shortly. What do you think?
Specs:
– 19” TT
– 13.25” CS centre to centre
– 210mm Stand over from axle line
– 105mm HT length
– 74 degree HT
– 71 degree ST
– 7.15” ST length centre of BB to centre of TT
– Butted TT and DT
– Built in chain tensioners
– Removable brake mounts, these are still optional!!
– Laser cut dropouts and DT gusset – gusset is for a little extra strength so you don’t rip the HT off!
– 17mm diameter CS and ST braces to reduce flex
– Little plates in between the CS and ST arms to reduce flex
– Can take up to a 2.00” tyre easily
– Dropouts – 14mm, 5mm thick
Looks clean! Can’t wait to see some close ups and of course an edit of Sam riding it!
I will see if I can get a bikecheck Mark, and I know Sam is ready to do a new edit. The frame looks really clean. I have a few more photos, but I’ll wait till I have the “OK” to release them…
Liking the hta!
who’s making it?
@BlindingSun – To be announced shortly…
Oh boy. This is interesting.
What’s the word on drop-outs? 14mm to fit an Ezra?
Boom
#rumourHasIt this frame comes with a High Contrast MP3
@joe cicman – that would be amazing! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Eo5TJ1lkaxI
Congrats sam, i look forward to seeing the final product..
@Joe Cicman – Updated specs – 14mm yo!
Want, want, want.
Does this mean we might be seeing a full return to the contest circuit for Sam?
I don’t think you’ll see that with his full time job. You’ll certainly be seeing a new edit at some point, and 1-2 appearances a year Brandon.
looks ziony to me
@Flatbot – It’s not Zion, or Flatware before anyone says…. and holy shit, no more bent milky bars!
it better not be Chimera !
Focus 2? focus pokus? Ford focus? The Sam damn? Oh I can’t wait!
Well its from IMG that’s Carlo Griggs firm so I guess PROPER Bikes… Am I close?
HAHA joe cicman and the high contrast comment
Well the waltz is off the odyssey website so this leaves an opening for a new flat frame??
this frame looks like its built it, gotta admit though that i prefered the zion focus shape.
you know how long I aint see someone rock them fat pegs years ago I rock that back in the day those were the deal in my country
The god has handled down that good ish and blessed us with his holy power weapon bike thing. Help me I’m trembling… th…an…k y…ou… *tears*
