Looks like this.

Très drôle! Nice looking frame but zéro info on their website other than a few pictures.“Un bécik Canadien québécois
un Français, canadien-français
un Américain du nord, français
un francophone québécois-canadien un Québécois d’expression canadienne-française-française.
Un bike Canadien américain francophone d’Amérique du Nord ; un Franco-québécois. 100% Franco-canadien du Québec.”

6061 is weldable so why use glue? No need for heat treatment maybe?
Pole's idea of using 7000 serie aluminium should yield a stronger or lighter frame if they could engineer it properly
Kavenz approach is clever: just the complex seat tube is machined, the rest of the frame seems to be built from straight tubing, maybe butted?

Thats cool, better if it was 20 inch, but I guess kids these days have funny taste?
GT was the shit in the 80's, always wondered how they lost they're way.
Vee rubber on the hi pivot Intense. SMH. Haven't ridden them but I can't see them being on a level playing field with the Maxxis and Michelins?
I bet Gwin wouldn't run Vee rubber on his Supercars or Raptors? Why he would run them on the 1 machine thats afforded him all those Cars?

Across the board for 50 years, really? I have to disagree re: BMX, freestyle, and some MTB's over the years.
Yup. And the E13 ones.
Also, within the "alternative" brands, they're among the best I'd say. A friend got the Vee Snap WCs with his new bike and I have to admit other than being a bit too eager to grab the ground, they are very good.
Well, I was being sarcastic but in the 80s was it a GT BMX you wanted or a Hutch, Patterson, ELF, etc. I mean they were good but not the TOP of the pile.
Well, I rode GT's and Dyno's for much of the 80's. But it's true that I was rarely accused of running the best stuff. 
it's just to make curious people talk
My friend who was 5 years ahead of me used to have a crazy BMX collection. He was a top-ranked 16 year old in the country HUTCH offered a full ride. His dad says no your playing Football. SO that was lame. But he had Patterson a number of Hutch frames and some proto stuff. If he still has any could probably buy a new car with the $10K mark up. I had a Mongoose so technically you were probably ahead of me......Well, I rode GT's and Dyno's for much of the 80's. But it's true that I was rarely accused of running the best stuff.
I quite like the look of the Sensor, looks pretty stout for a 130mm bike, the numbers are decent and the cables are run in a really sensible way.
And it has three triangles!
Not a new bike per se, and very context specific, but a new/different idea. Way cool.

Jesus, 135mm cranks, 155 was where I drew the line.
Do you need to have a smaller OD tire on the rear if it is wider than the front?

Fezzari La Sal Peak 2.0, what a name!
Fezzari's naming convention reminds me of Intel's one "kabi lake", "whatever lake", etc.
EDIT: Not to mention how cheesy "Fezzari" sounds. It's almost like those counterfeit "Addas" shoes or "Sorny" headphones
