Chad sent an email out to the sponsored riders this last week with a link to a preview of the new site, they are working on tweaking the design to be less image oriented, it was a bit graphic intensive and hard to navigate.

Several of the 05 frames are slated to ship this week. I am waiting to get pricing/ordering info from Chad, hopefully will hear from him in the next few days so I can order my Titan. As soon as I hear anything I'll try and remember to post details. I would give the website a few more weeks, but who knows they might surprise us.

Yes they are based in Arizona, as far as I know they don't have a shop that is open to the public. However when the site gets up email Chad (the owner) he might be able to help you out.

Sven, I have an email into Chad regarding the pricing and availability of the 05 Titan's seeing as I now have $$ burning a hole in my pocket after Xmas. When I hear back I will let you know.

i emailed chad sometime last week and he had the same response - still waiting on them to come back from the powdercoaters. i will probably wait 2-3 weeks and send him another email to see if they can be ordered yet.

He told me today that they would be $225 and that they shipped to sponsored riders last week. They will begin to ship to the public late this week, early next week.

Yup my guess is 225 is the public price because the price he gave me was less than that. As for the bikes shipping to sponsored riders already, not fully accurate, they shipped raw frames with headbadges only to a few sponsored riders. I am waiting for a flat black, probably ordering mine the first of next week or the end of this week.

I've been emailing back and forth with them for the last week or so specing out a bike. I'm getting a complete build up a Titan (in flat black) Funny my first bike, a 1991 Marin Bear Valley, was flat black so I have a soft spot in my heart for it... but I digress. They recommended I wait until after new years so that the people they get their components from would be back. They didn't say anything about not having the frames ready. Come monday right after I transfer my life's savings into my checking account I'm ordering it up.

yeah. New bike new bike I am a gonna get a new bike...

Frames are in, they started shipping this morning. I should have photos of the frames tonight and will post them once I get em.
Are those pictures for the public? I think they are jsut for the "sponsored" riders. I wouldn't go posting those without the permission of Soul Cycles. I just got the pictures and the frames look very nice. I'm going to be getting the new MTX frame (loki) with a sherman jumper. The email said the pictures will be made "public" next week

The smaller titans look sweet, almost like a LeToy or something. I think I might have to get a Loki and have a Firefly or sometihng on it.

I am fully aware and have already asked Chad, I wasn't planning on putting them up without asking so don't go getting your panties in a bunch.

Although I do believe you read the email wrong. He was referring to having the "final formal catalog shots should be ready next week just in time to get the site up for the public"

The SITE up for the public....

Don't know why a company wouldn't want photos of their products out there to see if they are already selling them. It is one thing to post photos of products that havent been released but these have... yes they aren't studio shots but I doubt Chad has anything to be ashamed of in them... they look sweet.

I was just checking it doesn't bother me a bit. I agree the frames look awesome and he should be proud of the pictures. Sometimes it's the first impression that makes the differance. And if those "rough" pictures look that good i can't wait to see what the "formal" shots look like. Sorry you took my comment the wrong way, I didn't mean to sound like i had "my panties in a bunch".
