Sam’s long awaited “Focus” frame is now available to buy with a few improvements from the prototypes, myself and Sam have been testing for two years now. A lot of time, attention to detail went into the design of this frame, yes a lil’ heavier than the norm, but lot stronger to!

Frame info/specs:

There is also one great innovation that on Focus frame that you haven’t seen on any other flatland frame before: Taper Lock dropouts. Taper Lock is a patented design of dropouts made by a Taiwanese rider that completely solves the problem of chain tension in a most simple way, without the use of chain tensioners.
