Nice looking frame, geo looks great, especially for a tall, long armed guy like myself.

Check out that sneak peak at that fork, slick!

That frame looks really really cool. I'm interested.

Interesting idea on the fork. I dunno how I trust a non-suspension company with a fork, but it looks pretty cool. I do like the idea of a hardcore street/dj company making a fork for the riding they do.

mite have to have a talk with mike...after my 20" rig gets in

hmm bard and i talked about doing that exact same type of fork around thansgiving of last year. wouldnt be bad at all, just slap some mcu's in there and its good to go. if you want stiff suspension fo0r street that barely budges mcu's are great, cheap and easy to do

 

[escapeartist]

mcu's?

 

[Cru Jones]

That is a rad looking frame. I love the higher BB. That fork is pretty dope, too... I need one of those.

 

[grom-dom]

i agree. i think im gonna have to indulge in one...

 

[DirtEveryDay]

I wonder what that fork weighs...?
It's kinda funky looking, but that could be quickly overlooked after performance is proven. What I really don't like is the stanchions being so close to the sharp, jagged concrete ledges... but I suppose for park it would be fine...

And I wonder if that's one of the new rim color choices? I think he kinda missed the "white bus" but I know awhile ago he was buggin Eric over at Deity about doing some white rims... hopefully that wasn't classified info, I can never tell....

 

[manhattanprjkt83]

really cool...white needs to die though...

J,
You know how they are measuring the stays ?
I looked on the website and after seeing the new '' box '' yoke I don't get it.
Thanks in advance,
Rick.

 

[demo 9]

those are pretty nice. i would ride one.

 

[DirtEveryDay]

Well... maybe he's got a rich papa...? And if so, then more power to ya! Buy more bikes then sell them(to me) cheap later!

As in: from which point "A" to which point "B"? Or are you asking what the actual specs are?

 

[DirtEveryDay]

I know, I was kidding too! Hell, I've owned 13 vehicles since last July and half as many bikes in the same period. I need to flip that around...

 

[gastro]

mcu's?

microcellular urethane, aka elastomer.

Like from center of bb to center of axle when slammed in the d/o's, or how ?

R.

I'm not sure, but typically, that's how it's measured. If I see one in person, I'll try to get the measurement.

 

[isaacchdh]

anyone knows if its derraileur compatible?

i noticed that the BTI website lists the TT length as being 22.8" for the Trailking.

but the Atomlab website says 23.5". do you think they changed it, or have two available, or are they just measuring it differently (like not center-to-center)

[Cru Jones]

I remember hearing something about how there was a mistake made on the first production run of Trailkings and they were made longer than they were supposed to be. So, I would believe the 23.5 on the Atomlab site. Maybe 22.8 is what they were supposed to be. Just speculation, I don't really know, but I did hear something like that.

 

[mattmatt86]

14.75 stays would be nice, but for some reason I don't know if I trust that number.

Could possibly be achieving a bit more space between the crank arms? I'm just throwing that out there, I really have no knowledge of any spanish/mid BB's

 

[cornfed]

English refers to the thread pitch. In the roadie/MTB world, The primary BB's are english (68mm and 73mm shell lengths) and Italian(70mm shell). Both are "euro" bb's...

 

[A Grove]

OH! so it is technically a fancy word for euro.. nice

I am not sure of the current production run, but back in November to January ish, the regular Trailkings had a 22.8 TT. They also did a small production run of Long TT trailkings. I got one I am building up right now. Oddly, it also has Pimp2 decals on it...definately trailking geometry though.

 

[joelalamo45]

I rode my buddies Trailking yesterday and it was really sweet. He had it set up rigid and there is zero tire/shoe scrub issues on x-ups/barspins. Really dope frame.
