I'm not sure. I may have a commitment to taichung bike week, which they conveniently schedule Oct 17-20. To do both....i would need help that i'm not sure I'll have. I'll post a notice if I am.
New bike teaser
- Thread starter Tantrum Cycles
- Start date
The metallic black is the closest thing right now. although I have a customer that ordered a custom battleship grey, but with red rockers. Not exactly stealth.
Next run will be different. partly, because custom powder coating is expensive and massively time consuming.
As for branding, at the moment, I'm just happy to have something relatively clean and non offensive to most people. I'm sure you remember the silly string version
Thanks. Keep in mind, most of these I'm posting are customer choices. The Redrum rapidly overtook black as soon as I offered it. Doesn't really matter too much to me, except the pita of doing it all. And the Purple? Ya, my wife's not that low key.
This is the stealthiest standard paint
Cool... yeah, post up a pic of that.
Re: branding. The type is ok, but the head badge is definitely offensive!
Would be cleaner w/o that!
well, you know, sometimes, I can't help myself......Cool... yeah, post up a pic of that.
Re: branding. The type is ok, but the head badge is definitely offensive!
I actually have a more subtle head badge design, but it still needs work.
I'm sure at some point, there will be some hip, young graphic design artist employed that uses terms I hate like colorfuckingways and color blocking and such and will make it look like everything else.
In the meantime, I'm just happy I can be delivering bikes right now...
this is my ride, can't get much stealther
Is grandpawoo like john connor? telling us that the ebikes are going to take over?
It's actually screaming NO BRAKES!!
Their kickstarter campaign is even betterer. Call a vaporware POS a "SUV" and profit.
That video with that nasty bike is the worse thing I've seen in a while.
Class action lawsuit on fat rubber.

What about the name? Parrilla means "roasting grill"in Spanish. Nice name for a bike.
I think I'll hold until the more powerful BBQ model comes out.

Id buy that bike if it would come with some bife de chorizo and a bottle of Malbec...
Seems like you've enjoyed some of the best products of my land!
Las mejores eran las porteñas.
I lived in Bocas del Toro, Panama for a few years, trust me I tried...
Should be called "The Joker".
I've heard the Joker and the Hulk but the best one was Aurora Boreailis

How many bikes found their new owners, yet?
13 frames delivered, including one complete bike. I am including the lizard shown above, even though he won't have it for a few days (fedex).
At least 5 that I know of are already built and being ridden. 3 in Canada, 1 in Norway and 1 in Ca. A few more in the US will be built up and riding this week. another Canadian as well.
This week will see 3-5 more shipped. Then I'm off to Taiwan to try to get the qc things fixed, I'm tired of making bushings. Need to make sure the next run is spot on.
Then back to build up and ship the rest (about 30 more). The first run is gone.

Does G stand for "Going to castrate myself with my new frame sans seatpost/seat"?
No shit. I had to do a double take and ask him. He had ordered a dropper that hadn't arrived. His rigid post wouldn't go down far enough for the drops so he just removed it. Said he does it all the time.
Clearly the G stands for Genius
If you thought 31 inch bars were bitchin, wait until you try the 31 inch q-factor.
