Reasonable question with an appropriate answer.
I've always had great service from the DT USA headquarters in Grand Junction. Good communication via email or phone, always know/have what I need.
Likewise
Independent frame builders
Found these guys by accident looking at google maps around my local trail system.
Not really my cup of tea, but really cool bikes IMO.
Here's one I'd rock if I were into hard tails: http://odditycycles.blogspot.com/p/shred-sled.html
Apparently they make custom frames, forks, handlebars, stems and seatposts too.

I love brands like oddity. The clues in the name, you won’t have your bike confused for anything offered from one of the big brands.Independent frame builders

I appreciate the skill it requires to make something like that, but superfluous tubes on bikes makes my head hurt.Independent frame builders

I like what these guys are doing with the stems.
Frame bag holders
so you would pick an ebike over one of those? got it.
don't make me create the trolley meme for this
now you have disrupted my train of thought.
Dude, have you been to Fort Collins? It is probably out hipstering Boulder. But our trails are better. That's right, FU Boulder!
Except for LHCOHV. Love you!
Anyways, I appreciate the creativity of the "hipster" frames. Not my jam, but it's pretty cool.
Axctually, I wouldn't mind trying one of their handlebars. As a guy with neck/back issues, I'm finding I need higher rise bars to crush the gnar without hurting myself. This seems kinda cool. But will it talk me out of my Spank bars with vibricore? Not bloody likely!

Did your bikes get longer and your bars stayed the same height in the last few bikes? Sometimes longer reach needs a higher bar for me moldy back.

Yeah, good point. Looking back, over time it has raised. The handlebar/grips used to be just under the saddle (when looking from the side, seat height fully extended) to equal with the saddle, to now an inch or 2 above the saddle.
Good to know I'm not the only moldy back guy!

My point was there are not many options like this out there. Shipping can be expensive from across the pond for the Newman. Most others are blingy and moar expensive.Lighter, no 35 mm and proven track record:

I love BikeYoke droppers, this is cool to see from them, although I tend to run 35mm rise bars so they probably wont fit that stem?
Just saw this little gadget as well - https://www.bikeyoke.de/en/aimy.html
That's actually pretty cool.
Sounds like it depends on how sharp the rise is. They had a clever idea with the spacer tool to use when installing bars. I did see they have a small list of verified bars that fit.
Their seat binder looks interesting too. Both my main bikes have seatpost slipping issues; one with and one without a SHIMZ.

My Bikeyoke Revive dropper is a real nice piece of kit, I would not hesitate to buy another. I'm going on nearly 3 years without issue on my 185mm, the only thing it has needed in that time is a new cable and perhaps using the "revive" feature to remove top of travel squish.
I regrettably decided to replace my old KS on the Pedalhead with a new 210mm OneUp post (the price was right....) and this thing has about 5X as much saddle play as my 3 year old Revive.

I have the squeezy and the willy.
Works geud.
I have an older one thats got a t20
Which is annoying since my multi has t15 and t25.
New squeezys come with t25.

+1 on the Revive.
This will be my 185's fourth year.
The only thing I do is a revive push first thing in the spring and maybe another mid season.
Great dropper post.
I love my Revives, i like them even better with the Wolf tooth remote.
XC courses are getting better and better
That guy is barely breathing hard.
