Alright so I figured enough time has gone by so I might as well spill the beans now...
Last June, I got together with Dan Burt in charge of Azonic product development to make a "start from scratch" dirt/street frame to replace the outdated "Steelhead" that ended production last year.
After conversing back and forth and going over idea's on both sides, I presented him my completed "Turn Key" design and this past winter/spring the frame finally made it through all its phases and into production for a 2010 release.
Frame
Dirt Dingo
Two sizes will be offered and it's made from 4130 chromoly using specially formed seat and chain stay braces for maximum tire clearance but having super short 15 1/2 inch chain stays to keep those manuals going even longer.
Also uses an integrated headset and its geometry will allow up to an 85mm fork while still staying balanced (80mm is ideal for street).
Pics coming soon...
