This time around, we are keeping it classic, but we are changing things up. We haven't touched the geometry of the frame, but we juiced up the options. We added a smaller size in the 49cm and you will have your choice of any of the original colors: Pearl Tusk, Purple Metallic, or Construction Pumpkin. In addition to the frameset only option, we are offering two different complete build options. Both built with the classic moustache bars, you can choose from an update on the classic drivetrain configuration 2 x 10 48/34 compact double 11-32 cassette, or a newer technology 1 x 11 drivetrain with a super wide range 11-42 cassette.

We have also switched the tubing to Reynolds 520 from the 631. We have done this for a few very good reasons. 

• 1. The strength to weight ratio difference between 631 and 520 is small enough to be nearly insignificant. See the chart. 
• 2. In addition, we wanted to keep this frameset on the more affordable end. Yes, the price is a tad higher than we were charging in 2011, but a lot has changed since then and prices are considerably higher on every aspect. If we used the same 631 tubing today, adjusting for inflation and the higher cost of manufacturing and shipping, the frameset price would need to be $899.95. Through extensive research and comparison, we do not feel that the benefits of 631 over 520 justify the added $200. 
• 3. 631 tubing is made in the UK. The availability of that tubing is not good right now because of the global pandemic. If we were to source 631, it would be 2022 before we could deliver this frameset. Hence, we have decided on a very reliable, responsive, still relatively lightweight, and affordable option in Reynolds 520.
• 4. We've designed a new special headbadge for this final classic release. The limited badge will come with each frameset, or you can back us for just the decal set and headbadge if you want to help. The actual headbadge will be rendered into an aluminum adhesive badge based on the graphic below.

****UPDATE****

YOUR SUPPORT IS REWARDED!

Since this project is going well so far, we have decided to give back. Every frameset will come with the FSA Duron 1" headset. We realize that sourcing a quality headset is an extra headache, and we want to make it easy. Normally a $59.95 item, you will get it just for being awesome. We will even press the cups prior to shipping if you wish. Once funded, everyone who backed the frameset reward, will get a survey asking about size and color, and now whether you would like your headset pre-installed, or just put in the box with your frameset. Of course all of the completes will also come with this amazing headset. Yay!
