The 'newsboy is called "Bad News" and the regular frame is called "Assassin"
The name and my brand name are tastily etched onto the frames rather than stickered or painted. The frames have a matte look and the brand/model name is shiny.

It might be out of price range but I very much doubt he'd wreck it.
I'm 96kg and have a reputation as a wrecking yard but I haven't managed to kill the prototype in 2 years of serious abuse.

Maybe not the frame, but I do worry about the sliders on the rear. Also, know that he wouldn't be using the frame for mountain biking, he'd be playing bike polo on it and and most likely running it as a fixed gear.
The dude's a brute. Over the last two weeks he has broken, a drive-side crank, a handle-bar and blown up a chain ring.
I would never laim to know how a stranger rides but those sliding mounts are titanium with titanium bolts: if he can break those in any normal riding, I'd probably buy him a beer and hire him as a test rider

That description is me and the two guys I got to test the prototypes for a year. All 3 of us are aggressive and all weigh 90-110kg. We rode them hard as hell in completely rigid setups and if that didn't break them, only a jump rider will do it on some big air; not a cross country rider just taking drops or the run of the mill jumps on a trail regardless of how agressive they are.
BTW: I'm not a bike company, I'm an enthusiast who used to be a designer and I built just 8 bikes (including the 2 prototypes).
Once those are gone, I might build more but it's not a job.
send me a private message if you want to know more; I've been told of for trying to sell these bikes here already.
Yes I am. Thought about going to BK as our lease is up at the end of the month, but I don't think that's going to happen. I don't have a horse and I forgot what a bike is...
