Jabberwockies!

The newest batch of Jabberwockies are beginning to arrive. Aside from the hot new colors, there are no major changes to this single speed specific steel hardtail. The colors are None More Black (think Spinal Tap), Snuffalupagas Orange, and Bone White.


The Jabberwocky is made from Vassago's proprietary butted 4130 tubeset. It is a comfortable ride, lightweight and completely capable of devouring any trail you point it down. Vassago's Wet Cat geometry puts you "in" the bike, lowering your center of gravity, allowing you to climb technical sections of single track the way a wet cat climbs grandma's curtains.

Vassago's price will not, however, put you in the poor house. The Jabberwocky frame is $439, add the rigid O.D.I.S. (Oh Damn It's Smooth) fork is available painted to match for just $100 more.
These beasts don't stick around long. If you were thinking of trying to snap one of these up, now is the time to pre-order. We will be shipping all of our pre-orders later this week.

In other news...
Wheelset delivery is a bit delayed due to stock at the moment. DT is out of spokes, and Stan's is out of the Arch rim, although I'm told the spokes should be arriving any day now. Arch rims are somewhere between the factory and Stan's HQ. I have plenty of rims on back order, so when they arrive the wheel building will resume it's furious pace...

Niner Jet 9s are going to be here soon! They have left the factory, and are on a boat headed for California. If you haven't already ordered one of these, you may not get one til the next production. I still have a few sizes and colors left available from my pre-order.

We are continuing to settle into our new digs. The showroom is open Monday thru Friday 9-6, and Saturday 10-4. If you are up in the area, come on by! We have lots of 29er goodness to check out, including Fisher's amazing arsenal of 29er hard tail and full suspension bikes.

Think Spring!

Slick, this one's for you...

After what seems like forever, here is your bike!
It's a 20" Vassago Jabberwocky, with a Rock Solid White Brothers carbon fork. The color is a very apropos Short Bus Yellow, mixed up with anodized red black and silver.
I had a little fun with the color scheme, and it came out perfect. very autumnal in fact.


















The massive wheels are the Bike 29 Blue Collar Special, Surly Jim Brown hubs laced to WTB rims with DT Competition spokes and red alloy nips.

Because it's a single speed, I'm sure it will give you some miles that you will definitely hate, but I really hope that you enjoy this bike, and it ultimately gives you many happy miles.

Happy birthday you old fart!
Consider this your spanking. :)

Irish Eyes are Smiling


Here we have yet another Bandersnatch, built to the hilt in all the right places. This bike belongs to one of our own, "E-Dog". It's his very first 29er.






I am proud to say that the Dog gave up a big flat screen TV for this bike. Good choice!







The Bandersnatch is the best bikes out there for the money. Nothing rides like one, maybe with the exception of a geared Jabberwocky.


Speaking of....
Something wicked this way comes....
