Just got an email containing the final drawing for their upcoming dh ht.
I'm holding out for that frame, looks nice.

I am one of their factory riders, so that is how the orange happened. But give Chad a call if you want a custom color. I am sure he can accomodate, he's great about stuff like that. One of the many cool things about dealing with a USA boutique builder. The seatpost is their standard post that comes with a frame. It is jacked up for climbing mode. Ya gotta get up to get down!MMcG said:Orange eh? Did that cost extra to get a custom color? And why so much seatpost?

What size is that? Nice bike!ZEDMAN said:just got my loki 16.5" in john deere green. it rides awesomely.
Jeez, I got so distracted by how nice the bike looks, that I didn't bother to read the post!ufdff15 said:it says it in the post 16.5"
MMcG said:I like your bike and I like Soul too - but I wouldn't call them a boutique builder. More like a budget bike company that helps get young kids and poor adults with kids into nice frames for very little money. That's how I'd categorize them since they don't actually "build" their frames.
But I think their low price and high value are a real shot in the arm for mountain biking.
havent even tried putting up the travel to that high yet. my guess is that looping out will be an all time easy. ill let you know tmrwCash-Money said:that green loki is sick, how does it ride with the pike at 140?
Where are the frames made i've got quite a few questions about that lately.redical said:They do cut, build & powdercoat their frames.
Can you elaborate more on this? They do it all in house? Perhaps I was wrong in my previous statement. If so, I stand corrected and apologize for spouting off.redical said:They do cut, build & powdercoat their frames.
custom color is around 20-30 bucks extrajdschall said:Z-man: How much extra was the custom color? I want to build my wife a pink or purple cross bike for Christmas this year. I got to start saving up the D'oh...

i love the soul cycles stuff, and i am happy to see it. however, this is the third place i have seen this exact post.
It's actually just the raw aluminum with a chemical coat to keep it from getting damaged. It looks really cool. Sort of like an iridescent gold with the raw alu underneath, so you can see scratches and stuff from production.jdschall said:Gold ano = Ba-ling.
